Abstract EN
: Safety and health in the workplace are important for the welfare of both worker and public.
Hence measurement of radiation doses around crude oil pumping stations were carried out for the purpose of radiation protection.
Hand held radiation survey meters RDS -200 and Polymaster have been used for radiation dose measurement.
The order of radiation level in investigated areas showed the following trends: Port Sudan > Alelafoon = Jabal Um Ali >Wd shalayee > Mosmar.
The average level of radiation dose 5.64 µSv/y was examined and compared with the recommendations of international organizations concerned with radiation safety.
The overall annual effective dose for the workers appears to be negligible compared with the allowable limit of 1.0 mSv/year set by ICRP.
From the human health point of view, this study showed that there was no health risk to the workers and public due to radiation exposure.
