Wilhelm C. Roentgen's discovery of X-rays in 1895 led to high hopes for their application in various fields, including medicine, industry, agriculture, and trade. The societal attitude towards safety, known as "security ethos," encompasses beliefs, standards, and rules governing the protection of individuals from danger. The Health Protection Agency (HPA) Center for Radiation reported that diagnostic X-ray exposure accounted for 15% of the total radiation dose from all sources, with 90% directed at the UK population. Radiation harm is categorized into acute, consequential, and late effects based on symptom manifestation time. The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) aims to safeguard human health and has expanded to include environmental protection. Radiographers set annual exposure limits, and various committees establish effective dose limits. Dosimeters measure radiation exposure. The RPC has significantly reduced photo-emission dosage, heightened awareness of particle emission hazards, and improved radiation protection programs. The RPC's objective is to foster a secure working environment, raise awareness of radiation hazards, decrease unsafe behaviour, manage radiation exposure, assign responsibilities among workers, and enhance an effective radiation protection program. Education on radiation safety is crucial for all employees, not just those in radiology. However, there is a lack of understanding among professionals about radiation risks and protective measures. Proper education for healthcare professionals, including nurses, doctors, and technologists, is essential to protect against the harmful effects of radiation. It is crucial to integrate radiation safety education into the training of healthcare workers to fortify against the harmful effects of radiation exposure.
