The rad is an obsolete unit of measure. It is not an abbreviation.
According to Anwers.com, it is a "unit of energy absorbed from ionizing radiation, equal to 100 ergs per gram or 0.01 joules per kilogram of irradiated material. It has been replaced as a standard scientific unit by the gray."
The gray is the official SI unit equal to one joule per kilogram.

How does UV radiation harm humans?
Since UV radiation has a shorter wavelenght than normal light it hits an object with the range 10 nm to 400 nm, and energies from 3eV to 124 eV. It causes cancer to skin cells under direct exposition of UV rad.

Hertz, a frequency measurement unit equal to one cycle per second.
What can one do to protect oneself from background radiation?
Background radiation come from black body radiation which is mostly infrared and microwave. Background radiation is not harmful at all. Fear from background radiation come from confusion of the word radiation where we mostly concern nuclear radiation, but light is also a form of radiation and we live within the bright day light on a normal basis.

Is 0.3 a lot of radiation?
You need to specify the units used to take the measurement. It could be presented in Sv, Gy, rad or mrem. (So I am asking you 0.3 what??)Light radiation sickness begins at about50-100 rad0.5-1 gray (Gy)0.5-1 Sievert (Sv)50-100 rem50,000-100,000 mremSo if your measurement is in Rad - no it's not a lot. If it's in Gy or Sv then it is a significant dose, but will not cause acute sickness. If it's in rem then it's not a lot.
