Abstract

Nuclear technology or radiation have been used in life including agricultural, health and industry. However, other than positive effects, nuclear power have also radiation hazard to workers, society and environment when ignore nuclear safety in the usage. In perform this, those workers related to radiation source or radioactive substances. So, the potention of radiation exposures to workers either internal or external are high. It could caused health problem so that it needed better monitoring of radiation level both on workers and their work environment to avoid radiation level above allowable levels. This study was aim to review factors related to external radiation level received by radiological workers caused by interaction between these workers and their work and working environment. Results of statistical test showed that age, sex, education have no significant relation to radiation level, while work procedure, supervis ion and working area of environmental radiation exposure, have significant effect on external radiation level. So for the competent institutions to take steps to reduce radiation exposure in the workplace and more attention / monitoring of radiation workers in doing the work to follow established work procedures and medical examinations for radiation workers who received larger doses. The levels of radiation were determined by usage frequency, intensity of radiation, function and health service facility and radiological service facilities. Therefore, every workers always have radiation exposure risk of ionizing radiation during their job. In order to guarantee both safety and health of workers, society and environment, the employees who performed installation from every usage of nuclear energy activities potentially causing radiation level should following safety and health measures as followed: Justification, Limitation, Optimalization. Remembering that radiation could provide health problems, radiation usage need to be monitored, either through legislations related to radiation substance and radioactive usage, as well as regulation body that have responsibility to the legislation. Effectivity and efficiency of service period need to be more increased in order to get more control in radiation levels of workers received. Management keep make their workers to stay aware in wearing radiation shielding though it showed no significant effects.
