“…Studies on compliance with radiation protection measures in other African countries with national regulations have also shown an acceptable level of compliance with regard to the wearing of aprons. Indeed, Kouassi et al in Abidjan in 2005 [7] and Tapsoba et al in Ouagadougou [8] had reported that more than 90% of workers protected themselves with a lead apron. Jaouad noted this in 80% of his respondents in 2013 in Marrakech [6].…”

“…En effet 80% des salles répondaient aux normes en matière de surface recommandée par la législation ivoirienne qui est ≥ 25m 2 . Tapsoba et al [6], a ̀ Ouagadougou au Burkina-Faso en 2010, ont constaté́ dans leur série une proportion inférieure (40,6 %). La différence de conception entre le secteur prive ́ et le secteur public pourrait s'expliquer par le fait que le secteur prive ́ s'adapte a ̀ l'espace dont il dispose alors que le public peut facilement se procurer l'espace nécessaire.…”

“…Il en résulte généralement un encombrement qui l'opérateur dans l'exécution des examens et réduit les distances. Tapsoba et al [6] dans leur étude à Ouagadougou avait fait le même constat. De nombreuses études menées en Afrique Noire, soulignaient le caractère le plus souvent vétuste (plus de 10ans) des appareils de radiologie.…”

“…Et il n'existe pas une évaluation concrète des mesures de radioprotection du personnel dans le Sud -Bénin. Ce travail a donc été initié dans le cadre d'une étude multicentrique faisant suite à une étude réalisée en 2017 [6], sur l'état des lieux de la radioprotection du personnel des services d'imagerie au nord du Bénin. Il vise à évaluer la conformité des services d'imagerie du Sud Bénin avec les normes internationales, ainsi que la connaissance de ces normes par les travailleurs.…”

Objectives: To assess the radiation protection of the personnel in radiology departments of South Benin. Materials and method: Cross-sectional descriptive study with a prospective data collections, including in the functional Medical Imaging departments of the South Benin. Imaging services (with functional radiology facilities) of hospitals in southern Benin and workers who may or may not be technically involved in performing radiology examinations were included. Data collection was carried out by carrying out a direct observation of the infrastructures, radiology and radiation protection equipment and by measuring the radiology infrastructures, followed by an interview with the workers. Three survey cards with multiple choice questions were used as the data collection tool. The variables studied were related to workers' knowledge of radiation protection and their observance of rules, radiology infrastructure and equipment, radiation protection measures and workers. The data was then processed, analyzed using Minitab version 17 and EXCEL Office version 2013 software. Chi-square independence tests, Fisher's exact test, and Mann-Whitney test were also used. The significance level was ≤ 5%. Results: Have been collected 35 radiology departments, 45 examination rooms, 52 radiology machines and 112 workers was carried out from June to December 2019. The average age of the workers with 56.25% of whom were men, was 32.53 ± 0.82 years. At least 10 years professional experience was noted in 11.6% of workers. The area of 09 rooms (20%) was insufficient and 09 doors (20%) were not leaded. Six X-ray machines (14.6%) had been used for more than 10 years. Calibration had only been performed prior to installation for 03 (5.77%) X-ray machines. There was an absence of medical follow-up for workers in all departments. Dosimetric monitoring was not effective in any department and personal protective equipment (PPE) was insufficient. Among the workers, 41 (37.96%) had received training in radiation protection; 28 (25%) had an unsatisfactory knowledge in radiation protection. The leaded aprons were never used by 07 workers (6.25%). Conclusion: The radiation protection of the personnel of the Medical Imaging services of South Benin has several shortcomings and should be improved by the application of Law No. 2017-29 on radiological safety and nuclear security in Benin. RÉSUMÉ Objectif : Évaluer la radioprotection du personnel des services d’imagerie du Sud Bénin Matériel et méthode : Étude transversale descriptive et à collecte prospective menée sur 6mois du 1er Juin au 31Décembre 2019 dans les services d’Imagerie Médicale fonctionnels du Sud Bénin. Ont été inclus les services d’imagerie (avec des installations de radiologie fonctionnelles) des centres hospitaliers du Sud Bénin et les travailleurs intervenants ou non de façon technique dans la réalisation des examens de radiologie. Le recueil des données a été réalisé en procédant à une observation directe des infrastructures, des équipements de radiologie et de radioprotection et à la mensuration des infrastructures de radiologie puis à un entretien avec les travailleurs. Trois fiches d’enquête comportant des questions à choix multiples constituaient l’outil de collecte des données. Les variables étudiées étaient relatives aux connaissances des travailleurs en radioprotection et à l’observance des règles par ces derniers, aux infrastructures et appareil de radiologie, aux mesures de radioprotection et aux travailleurs. Les données ont ensuite été traitées, analysées à l’aide des logiciels Minitab version 17â. et EXCEL Office version 2013â. Les tests d’indépendance de khi-deux, le test exact de Fisher et le test de Mann-Whitney ont également été utilisés. Le seuil de significativité était ≤ 5%. Résultats : Ont été colligés 35 services de radiologie, 45 salles d’examen, 52 appareils de radiologie et 112 travailleurs. L’âge moyen des travailleurs dont 56,25% d’hommes, était de 32,53±0,82 ans. Une expérience professionnelle d’au moins 10 avait été notée dans 11,6% des cas. La superficie de 09 salles (20%) était insuffisante et 09 portes (20%) n’étaient pas plombées. Six appareils (14,6%) étaient en usage depuis plus de 10 ans. Le calibrage n’avait été effectué avant l’installation que pour 03 (5,77%) appareils. Il y avait dans tous les services, une absence de suivi médical des travailleurs. La surveillance dosimétrique n’était effective dans aucun service et les équipements de protection individuelle (EPI) étaient en nombre insuffisant. Parmi les travailleurs 41 (37,96%) avaient eu une formation en radioprotection ; 28 (25%) avaient un niveau peu satisfaisant en radioprotection. Les tabliers plombés n’étaient jamais utilisés par 07 (6,25%) travailleurs. Conclusion : La radioprotection du personnel des services d’Imagerie Médicale du Sud-Bénin présente plusieurs insuffisances et devrait être améliorée par l’application de la loi N° 2017-29 portant sûreté radiologique et sécurité nucléaire au Bénin.

Objectives: To take stock of staff, premises and personal protective equipment in radiology departments in the Kindia region. Methodology: Cross-sectional, descriptive study conducted in March 2023, including all radiology departments and cabinets in the Kindia region. We reported on the characteristics of working conditions for the staff directly involved in radiation work (age, sex, qualifications, radiation protection training, duration of working under radiation, number of examinations per year), radiology rooms and equipment (room surface area, door manufacturing materials, building construction materials, illuminated signage at hall entrances, leaded shield), the use of personal radiation protection equipment (leaded apron, cap, thyroid protector, leaded goggles and gloves), the availability of dosimetric monitoring resources and the type of radiology equipment available. Results: 8 radiology departments and practices were surveyed, including 5 public (62.5%) and 3 private (35.5%). 21 medical and paramedical staff working directly under ionizing radiation, including 16 manipulators (76%), 2 physicians acting as radiologists (9.5%), one senior radiology technician (4.8%) and no radiology physicians. The average age of the staff was 32 (28-45), of whom 86% were male. The average number of years working with radiation was 4 years (2-7 years). 57% of staff had received radiation protection training, including 42.9% on the Internet, 9.5% post-graduate training and 4.8% initial training. 50% of the halls had a surface area of 30m 2 , 25% had a surface area of 24 m 2 and 25% had a surface area of 18m 2 . 62.25% of the doors were made of wood with lead and 62.5% of the walls were solid brick with concrete lining. There were no illuminated signs at the entrance to the halls. All departments had lead aprons, only one had a thyroid protector, and none had a dosimeter. The lead apron was the most commonly used personal protective equipment (86%), followed by leaded gloves (29%) and thyroid protectors (4.8%). 37.5% of departments had a bone-lung x-ray table only, 37.5% a bone-lung x-ray table and a mobile radio, and 25% a mobile radio only. Conclusion: The practice of radiation protection in health facilities in the Kindia region suffers from a number of shortcomings, including non-compliance with construction standards, the virtual absence of qualified radiology staff and a very low level of training in radiation protection. The use of personal protective equipment against X-rays is very limited, consisting mainly of leaded aprons.
