Safety Program. Safety, Health, Environment & Risk Management (SHERM). 713-500-5840. THE SHERM MISSION. Safety, Health, Environment and Risk Management’s (SHERM) mission is to work in conjunction with the UTHSC-H community to ensure that education, research, and health care services activities take place in conditions that are optimally safe and healthy for all student, faculty, staff, visitors, surrounding community and the general public. . . Radiation is the emission of energy in the form of waves or particles. Radiation that is so powerful that it can remove electrons from atoms is called ionizing.. Examples of types of ionizing radiation are x-rays from medical machines and gamma rays from radioactive substances. . ICRP Publication 120. ICRP, . 2013. Radiological . Protection in Cardiology.
