  1. Ensuring Radiation Room Safety: Challenges and Expert Solutions

  2. Introduction • Radiation equipment rooms (CT, Nuclear Medicine, X-Ray, Mammography, Cathlab, CBCT/OPG, Industrial Radiography) require strict safety design. • A Radiation Safety Assessment ensures protection for patients, staff, and the surrounding environment. • In Oman, compliance with legal authorities is mandatory. • Facilities often face challenges during room assessment.

  3. Challenge 1: Improper Shielding Problem: Inadequate shielding → radiation leakage.Example: CT scanner without proper shielding led to costly retrofitting.Solution: • Detailed shielding calculations before installation. • Use of lead, concrete, or barium plaster. • Follow Omani & international safety standards.Saferay Oman’s Role: Expert shielding design & verification.

  4. Challenge 2: Underestimated Workload Problem: Shielding designed for fewer cases → inadequate protection.Example: Cathlab planned for 10 cases/day but handled 25.Solution: • Accurate workload estimation & projections. • Flexible shielding for future growth. • Regular reassessments.Saferay Oman’s Role: Realistic workload analysis in safety plans.

  5. Challenge 3: Poor Dose Monitoring Problem: Staff unknowingly exposed to excess radiation.Example: Mammography suite → staff exposure beyond limits.Solution: • Structured dose monitoring programs. • Use of personal dosimeters & area monitors. • Regular calibration & audits.Saferay Oman’s Role: Complete dose monitoring & compliance services.

  6. Challenge 4: Compliance Delays Problem: Incomplete documentation → delays in approvals.Solution: • Early consultation with radiation safety experts. • Complete documentation: shielding, workload, dose assessment. • Alignment with Omani & global regulations.

  7. Conclusion Radiation Safety Assessment = essential for protecting patients, staff, and communities. Key Challenges: • Improper shielding • Underestimated workload • Poor dose monitoring • Compliance delays Saferay Oman provides end-to-end safety solutions.
