Abstract:
Objective To assess the current status of occupational radiation hazards in animal diagnosis and treatment institutions in Foshan City. Methods A total of 214 animal diagnosis and treatment institutions in Foshan City in 2024 were selected as the study subjects using the judgment sampling method. The radiation protection management status was investigated. Results A total of 178 out of the 214 animal diagnosis and treatment institutions were equipped with radiation diagnostic equipment in Foshan City. Among these 178 institutions, 98 (accounting for 55.1%) obtained permits from the ecology and environmental department, 21 (accounting for 11.8%) completed occupational hazard project declarations, 53 (accounting for 29.8%) conducted workplace radiation level monitoring, 132 (accounting for 74.2%) were equipped with radiation protection equipment, 40 (accounting for 22.5%) conducted occupational health examinations for the radiation staff, 39 (accounting for 21.9%) provided radiation protection knowledge training for the radiation staff, and 52 (accounting for 29.2%) performed personal radiation dose monitoring. However, none of the institutions implemented the “Three Simultaneities (design, construct, put into operation and use simultaneously with the main body of the construction project)” system for occupational disease prevention facilities in construction projects. Conclusion sAnimal diagnostic and treatment institutions in Foshan City have low levels of radiation protection management and inadequate occupational health monitoring. The radiation staff has low awareness of radiation protection, Relevant department should strengthen supervision and management, organize radiation protection knowledge training, and standardize occupational health management to effectively safeguard workers' health rights.
