In the context of X-ray facilities, this project addresses the crucial need for radiation safety, specifically regarding healthcare personnel, like hospital cleaners, who are exposed to radiation for extended periods. Due to their proximity to X-ray facilities, hospital cleaners are subjected to the risk of ionizing radiation exposure, whereas there is a scarcity of real-time data on exposure in these existing safety standards. It is also recommended that a GPS device be used for real-time mapping and exposure tracking so that interventions can be directed and cleaner safety can be improved.
