dc.description.abstract | Radiation exposure of workers in Ghana have been estimated on the basis of personal dose records of the occupationally exposed in medical, industrial and research/teaching practices for the period 2008-09. The estimated effective doses for 2008 are 0.400, 0.495 and 0.426 mSv for medical, industrial and research/teaching practices, respectively. The corresponding collective effective doses are 0.128, 0.044 and 0.017 person-Sv, respectively. Similarly, the effective doses recorded in 2009 are 0.448, 0.545 and 0.388 mSv, respectively with corresponding collective effective doses of 0.108, 0.032 and 0.012 person-Sv, respectively. The study shows that occupational exposure in Ghana is skewed to the lower doses (between 0.001 and 0.500 mSv). A statistical analysis of the effective doses showed no significant difference at p < 0.05 among the means of the effective doses recorded in various practices. © The Author 2012.
