Had a B737 in dock on a C check once. Avionics guys were working on the radar. It was on. Unfortunately a lead was working on the dock in front of the aircraft. The radome blocked their view. She was exposed to it for around an hour.

She spent quite a time in hospital and many months off work afterwards and took a couple of years to fully recover.

Procedures were changed after that.
