Objective To understand the basic information of the number,classification,and distribution of radiation work units in non-medical institutions in Shanxi Province,China,and to analyze the status quo of health management and ra-diation protection measures for radiation workers,so as to provide a scientific basis for occupational exposure protection in non-medical radiation work units and better protect the occupational health rights and interests of radiation workers.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate some non-medical institutions in Shanxi Province.On-site testing was carried out to determine the risk factors for radioactive occupational diseases in the selected non-medical institu-tions.Results In 220 non-medical institutions,there were 340 radiation devices and 2284 radioactive sources.The rate of individual dose monitoring was 92.7％and the rate of occupational health examination was 87.2％.These devices were equipped with 325 detection instruments for radiation protection,1 316 personal protective equipment,and 730 personal dose alarms.Radiation occupational disease risk factors were investigated in 101 institutions.Conclusion The occupational health management of radiation workers in non-medical institutions in Shanxi Province is generally in line with the national standards.However,there is still a big gap with the level of occupational health management in medical institutions.The health administration departments should clarify the management measures for non-medical institutions and strengthen their supervision and management functions.
