| خلاصه مقاله | Radiation have short and long-term effects. Radiologists and radiotherapists are exposed to high levels of radiation compared to other people. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of HSE condition on employees at radiation sections of hospitals and survey incidence of cancer among them. In this study, 17 departments related to radiation in 8 hospitals in Tabriz were examined. This survey is the cross-sectional that done in two parts. 1) Survey of HSE condition at radiation sections of hospitals 2) Investigation of dose received among radiologists and survey incidence of cancer among them. The two-months and annual dose received, in 29 and 54 subjects were more than the standard level, respectively. The results of the HSE condition survey showed, the overall score obtained in all hospitals meanly at three sections of radiation safety, general safety, and emergency safety was 75.5±10.2, 88.2±8.5 and 47±10.6, respectively. Also, in terms of the suspected symptoms of cancer related to a radiation, fortunately no cases were found. High scores on items such as use of individual dosimeters, use of proper PPE, equipment safety checks, device leak testing, the presence of safety warnings and attention to the HSE issues can reduce radiation exposure and the amount of dos received among studied subjects. So, no statistically significant relationship was found between the mentioned items and the incidence of cancer among radiation workers. Positive attitude and observance of HSE principles can have positive effects on the health of radiation workers. Observe safety principles cause reduce received dose and reduce anxiety about catching the occupational disease. |
