Abstract

Occupational health and safety have become essential pillars in the modern workplace, reflecting the growing emphasis on valuing employees within their work environments. As Turkey has seen a rise in occupational accidents and diseases, new legal regulations have become necessary. The goal of these regulations extends beyond merely preventing accidents and illnesses; they also aim to foster mental well-being through a safe working environment. A particular area of concern is the radiation risk in the healthcare sector. This study explores the potential hazards and risks faced by healthcare workers who are exposed to radiation by reviewing existing literature. It assesses the devices used by radiology department staff and their associated exposure levels. Furthermore, the study proposes strategies to enhance risk awareness among these workers and to mitigate potential dangers. © IJCESEN.
