Radiological installations in hospitals certainly have dangers, especially for officers in the radiology room. Long-term and continuous exposure to staff in the radiology room can threaten their health and life. Therefore, protective equipment is needed that protects them from radiation exposure. The available Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is still incomplete and the use of PPE on radiographers is not routinely used because they feel safe, when the use of PPE slows down the examination time for patients due to heavy PPE. This study aims to find out the overview of radiation protection personal protective equipment (PPE) management from the aspects of input, process, and output. A type of qualitative research with a descriptive approach method. Carried out in the radiology installation of dr. Adnaan WD Payakumbuh from August 2023 to June 2024.
