摘要：

This paper presents the concepts of equivalent risk and risk minimization in optimizing radiation worker protection. When prescribing worker protection requirements and identifying work restrictions, all significant con-tributions to worker risk should be considered, not just the risk associated with radiation dose. This approach requires a practical application of risk analysis that allows comparison of a variety of risks. Examples of the types of worker risks that must be evaluated are given, and the author proposes that the scientific community develops a methodology for risk comparison that can be implemented via an expert system to facilitate risk analysis and decision making. © 1990 Health Physics Society Pergamon Press plc.
