Abstract

The Radiology Services Unit is one of the supporting medical installations, using ionizing radiation sources to diagnose the presence of a disease in the form of anatomical features displayed in the radiographic film.This study aims to obtain in-depth information about the existence of a policy from Management that related to X-Ray Radiation Protection and compliance of workers in carrying out their tasks in accordance with the rules applicable in the use of Personal Protective Equipment and compliance with the system of justification, optimization and limitation for safety workers.Descriptive qualitative research is to obtain or describe the reality of the events studied so that objective data that will be obtained by way of in-depth interview and focus group discussion as well as direct observation in the field.Policy is a rule that must be executed properly and consistently in the field of radiation sources work, where the radiation has adverse effect to the workers, the policies concerning to the standards of equipment, procedures, referrals, use of Personal Protective Equipment and exercises. These policies must be obeyed by the workers for the safety from radiation and the impact can be minimized properly and effectively.
