A personal radiation protection garment apparatus is described. The garment is equipped with multiple layers, including a central protective layer, which helps to prevent the unwanted application of radiation to an individual when worn. Multiple sections of the garment are joined by overlapping seams. The protective layer includes a first and a second partially lapping radiation-protective panels, with the first panel attached to the first layer at a first attachment zone, and the second panel attached to the second layer at a second attachment zone. The first panel is configured to overlap the second panel across the second attachment zone, providing a continuous protective covering of the second attachment zone, and the second panel overlaps the first panel across the first attachment zone as well.

It is a clothing or accessory for protection against ionizing radiation comprising a body of flexible material threadable by an operator and reinforcing protection means comprising of one or more layers or plates protecting against ionizing radiation integrated within said body. The garment comprises at least two parts, each provided with a magnetic element for setting, adjusting, arranging or closing the garment or accessory when one of the parts is activated by the operator to cooperate with the other part. Each magnetic element is composed of at least two groups each comprising at least one positive magnet and at least one negative magnet, the groups of the same magnetic element being set directly or indirectly on the same support and/or between them and being able to co-operate with the groups of opposing polarities of the other magnetic element.

Method and system are disclosed for determining conditions of components that are removably coupled to articles of personal protection equipment (PPE) by tracking the components against predetermined criteria.

A suspension system for a personal radiation garment includes a ceiling mount having a flanged drop tube extending vertically, and at least one extension arm that rotates horizontally via bearing joints. A suspension assembly having at least one hoist is positioned along the distal end of the outermost extension arm, and a garment coupler is connected to a cable extending from the hoist. Each of the one or more hoists include an adjustable tensioning mechanism that is controlled manually or by a motor having a controller and a switch.
