      I work with a lot of equipment that can be dangerous. I use high voltages and sources of radiation, in particular. However, my coworkers, the safety officers, and I work together closely to make sure that everything we do is safe. We restrict access to areas that are dangerous when we are using equipment, we use lots of different radiation monitors to make sure that no one is exposed to too much, and we always make sure that someone else is around when we are running dangerous experiments. In this way, my job is actually quite safe.
