    The document is an advisory report from a site visit to an X-Ray machine at a government hospital. It finds that the space between the X-Ray tube and control panel does not allow for sufficient radiographer safety. Additionally, the lead barrier contains lead that is only 0.5mm thick when regulations require a minimum of 1.5mm lead to properly block radiation. It advises replacing the lead barrier with one containing at least 1.5mm of lead and for radiographers to immediately start using personal radiation monitoring.

    Advisory Report

    As we visited the site of X-Ray machine find that according to AERB rule guideline-
    radiographer and patient safety is first but there is no sufficient space between X-Ray
    tube & control. As well as lead barrier does not contain lead of 1.5mm. It contain
    0.5mm and there are Number of X-Rays are upto 10 and more than a day. So the
    radiographer not in safe zone because lead barrier does not able to block radiation
    completely. Radiographer is also recommended to use radiation safety badge to
    monitoring radiation doze. As per rule of AERB lead barrier should be atleast 1.5mm
    of thick lead to give radiation safety to radiographer.

    Advised:- Lead barrier should be replaced 1.5mm lead thickness. Radiographer


    should use personal monitoring system instantly.
