Sažetak
The importance of prompt occupational dose reporting rises when dose is received within short-time interval or when the radiation source suffers any technical failures. New occupational dosimetric concept states that exposure to radiation is to be recognized as a private/or group hazard of each person alone. Actual radiation quality of the source, well defined controlled areas and areas of concern - point (Ort) are to be taken into account. To optimize the radiological radiation protection, Quality Control measurements of the source and digital dosemeter ALARA OD2 for external dosimetry are used to establish the real pattern of occupational dose delivered to the workers or/and as the (Ort) professional environmental measuring station. Dosemeter device, produced by ALARA Instruments Ltd., is licensed in Republic of Croatia. This upgrade to legal obligatory external dosimetry is helping and will help and ease defining the professional staff who are actually exposed to ionising radiation of concern and for whom it is necessary to provide legally required, or even additional, occupational health care programme. This means the analysis of exposure situations for specific jobs in medicine in the context of carrying out a detailed study for the optimization of radiation protection [1][2][3]. PC data readout from device forms a real time exposure dose rate pattern which is to be added to personal occupational dosimetric data and medical data records of proffesional stuff.
