Challenges in radiation protection
Radiology facilities often face the following challenges:
- Time-consuming documentation: The recording of radiation events in accordance with Art. 50 StSV is often complex and resource-intensive.
- Complex requirements: Analysis and reporting to the FOPH requires precise and complete data.
- Uncertainty regarding legal compliance: Many institutions have concerns about whether they meet all legal requirements.
- Coordination of the working group: Interdisciplinary cooperation to analyze events and prevent similar incidents is essential, but often challenging.
Steps to perfect documentation and reporting
- Know the legal basis and responsibilities: The StSV and BAG guidelines regulate the handling of ionising radiation. The responsibility lies with the hospital or institute management.
- Complete accounting of all radiation events: Obligation to document all medical radiation events, regardless of actual exposure.
- Identify and report reportable events: Events such as unforeseen exposures or doses above 100 mSv must be reported within 30 days.
- Investigation and reporting after radiation events: Internal investigations and reporting are necessary and must be submitted to the FOPH.
- Regular inspection, training and quality management: Regular team meetings and training courses on compliance with radiation protection measures are necessary.
Please note that the steps presented here only provide a brief overview of the process of documenting and reporting radiation events.
