This self-assessment tool has been designed to enable your facility to conduct a thorough evaluation of its compliance with the regulatory requirements and recommendations for use of X-ray generating equipment for medical applications e.g diagnostic X-ray machines (mobile, fixed, computed tomography, and dental X-rays) and interventional X-ray machines (C-Arm and flouroscopy). The primary purpose of this assessment is to ensure the safety, security, and regulatory compliance of your operations involving radiation sources. The self-assessment process is a proactive approach that empowers your facility to identify and resolve any issues before official inspections by the Atomic Energy Council take place. It allows you to take corrective actions, implement best practices, and ensure ongoing compliance with regulatory requirements, thus promoting the well-being of patients, staff, and the general public.
It is crucial to approach the self-assessment process with a commitment to accuracy and honesty. Provide responses that reflect the true state of your facility’s practices, procedures, and systems. By doing so, you will gain valuable insights into areas where compliance may be lacking or improvements can be made. Identifying non-compliance or areas for improvement is not a cause for concern but an opportunity for growth. It is essential to take appropriate actions to address any gaps or deficiencies identified during the self-assessment process. These actions may include documenting new procedures and protocols, enhancing safety and security measures, providing additional training, or acquiring necessary resources.
