Resumo
Brazil is the largest country of Latin America, with 8.5 million square kilometers divided into five regions with 3
time zones. In this large between-country distances, with plenty of radioactive facilities throughout the country,
professional education and communication is a must and a challenge. This paper discusses a web-based project
designed to provide effective communication about occupational exposure, linking geographically distant workers
to high-quality reliable information. The web-based-project UNIPRORAD counts on concepts, definitions and
theory about radiological protection based on both national and international standards, guidelines and
recommendations. The content includes optimization, monitoring, potential exposure and communication on
occupational risk agents in the workplace. Regarding potential exposures, it is essential to consider the concept of
“risk” which, even among scientific community, seems to assume a great variety of meanings. Regarding risk
agents in the workplace, it is necessary to discuss the identification and evaluation of the various risk agents
(physical, chemical biological and ergonomic) addressing attention to their association to ionizing radiation. This
article presentsthe authors' experience in the communication of radiological protection in Brazil, presenting global
and specific issues on radiological protection, analyzing recommendations and discussing discrepancies among
the several valid publications. It is our objective the dissemination of trustful updated communication, providing
radioactive facilities relevant, accurate and understandable information. Finally, the article emphasizes the need
to spread information wherever it is needed to inform as many people as possible, contributing to develop workers´
professional skills and to improve safety culture in workplace.
