Answer
Following precautions should be taken while handling the radioactive substances.
(i) The sources should only be handled by the forceps provided and never touched by hand.
(ii) They should never be pointed towards a person.
(iii) Food should not be taken where the sources are being used, as it may be contaminated.
(iv) Never smoke near a radioactive source.
