No idea where to even begin. Is this a cartoon skit?

kurisupisu - Raincoats don’t have radioactive shielding properties, do they?

Neither do the paper suits they wear. They are cheap and disposable. That is why they are used.

There should be no impact on safety as the coats are not designed to protect workers from radiation since the rays penetrate clothes in any case.

Is this typo? The most stupid statement I ever read.

I read that while Protective suits do not shield you against ionizing radiation, they do keep radioactive particles off of one’s body, so they do offer some degree of protection, and plastic raincoats probably offer similar protection depending on how they fit and close and cover the body.
