The safety culture of selected practices and facilities in Ghana utilising radiation sources or radiation emitting devices has been assessed using a performance indicator, which provided status information on management and operating staff commitment to safety. The questionnaire was based on the following broad areas: general safety considerations, safety policy at the facility level, safety practices at the facility level, definition of responsibility, staff training, safety of the physical structure of the facility and the emergency plans. The analysis showed that the percentage levels of commitment to safety for the respective practices are as follows: conventional radiography, 23.3-90.0%; research reactor, 73.3%; gamma irradiation facility, 53.3%; radiotherapy, 76.7%; X-ray scanner, 80.0%; gamma scanner, 76.7%; industrial radiography 86.7% and nuclear density practice, 78%. None of the practices or facilities was able to satisfy all the requirements that will ensure a 100% level of safety culture.
利用辐射源或辐射发射设备的加纳部分医疗机构和设施的安全文化，已通过一项绩效指标进行评估，该指标提供了管理人员和操作人员对安全承诺的现状信息。调查问卷基于以下广泛领域：一般安全考虑、机构层面的安全政策、机构层面的安全实践、责任定义、员工培训、机构物理结构安全和应急预案。分析表明，各医疗机构对安全的承诺百分比水平如下：传统放射成像，23.3 - 90.0%；研究反应堆，73.3%；伽马辐照设施，53.3%；放射治疗，76.7%；X光扫描仪，80.0%；伽马扫描仪，76.7%；工业放射成像，86.7%；核密度检测，78%。没有任何一家医疗机构或设施能够满足确保100%安全文化水平的所有要求。
