(b) Extremely high workload;
(c) Increased risk of exposure due to staff supporting patients during radiography;
(d) Increased risk of exposure to scattered radiation;
(e) Unnecessarily high patient exposure values; or
(f) Other similar conditions.
(2) The X-ray system radiation safety procedures must:
(a) Address patient and occupationally exposed personnel safety; and
(b) Define any restrictions of the operating technique required for safe operation of the X-ray system.
