Abstract
This study has been carried out to find out current status of understanding radiation safety expertise by workers under the present training scheme and to minimize radiation risks at work as well as to refurbish training systems for mitigation of uneasiness of the people at large in near future. Questionnaire survey asking 30 items was carried out during 3 months from May to July, 2013. The number of the overall respondents were about 500. Overall scores of hath degree of the basic knowledge and of the attitude related with radiation safety could he procured through analysis of the questionnaire data. Results were as followings: The workers of the higher academic level, the larger of the accumulated training time and the worker's personal antecedents, the more accredited license holders showed the larger scores of the basic knowledge of radiation as well as the attitude related with the radiation safety. The group having higher basic knowledge also showed the higher score in attitude related with radiation safety. The overall scores obtained from the radiation workers in industrial sector were relatively lower, in general, than those of the other sectors. These results suggest that the training program might better be separately implemented. A specific training program implementation might be desirable particularly for the workers in industrial sectors so as not only to reduce radiation risks of workers but also to mitigate the uneasiness arising among the people at large.
