Evaluation the Knowledge and Radiation Protection of Radiation Workers at Ibensina Hospital

Öz

To evaluate the knowledge and awareness of radiation worker’s towards radiation protection. Each day people are effecting by Ionizing radiations. The ionizing radiation is produced several types of hazards. Thus, technicians are working at hospitals should be have good knowledge about radiation protection. The questionnaire based cross-sectional study performed at Ibensina hospitals-Sirte city, Libya between July and August 30 out of 38 radiation workers. Data collected from some questionnaire and analyzed by microsoft Excel softwere surveyed. The results shows that the most age of the radiation workers are between 31 – 40 years bachelor holders 23 (76.7%), 6 male and 15 female. All radiation workers (100%) have studyed primary examination while start work. However, periodical examination did not since started work (100%).
