PRIMLJENE DOZE ZRAČENJA ZA IZLOŽENE DJELATNIKE U OPĆOJ BOLNICI.

Certain employees of general hospitals are exposed to radiation from diagnostic units while performing everyday tasks. Any adverse event that may occur because of improper implementation of the measures and principles of radiation protection represents social loss and a certain loss for the institution itself. The paper covers the research addressed to study the impact of using measures and principles of radiation protection on received dose for professionally exposed employees. The main research method used was the descriptive method with the aim to collect and process data and to obtain research results, while the source of research was the actual practical implementation of occupational safety. The experimental part was based on the observation during a period of five years in which the received doses of radiation were measured according to type of work assignments for each of 111 employees. The research results, which are shown in this paper, indicate that received radiation doses for exposed employees are in accordance with legislation, provided that everyone abides by the basic measures of protection and regulations relevant for the profession.
