This descriptive and analytical study, carried out from March 25 to May 14, 2019 as a survey, focused on knowledge about IR and RP. It was intended for medical and paramedical staff from several departments of Ibn Rochd UHC in Casablanca. Among 135 surveyed workers, 83% with median age of 31 years (21 to 54 years) participated. 65.17% of participants were physicians whose 76% were in training. 47% of respondents had a high global level of knowledge, with mean score of 6.6/10. IR average score (7.8/10) were better than RP average score (6.23/10). The scores varied significantly according to RP education (p<0.002) and home department (p<0.002). RP score was more strongly correlated to RP education (η2=0.32) than to department membership (η2=0.14). Medical staff RP knowledge are insufficient. In order to improve workers’ knowledge on RP, and thereby protect their health, it would be desirable to set up systematic pre-hire training and continuing education programs as well as integrate a radiation safety officer into all departments operating under IR.Hjiyej Andaloussi LamiaHarrass HichamAschawa HindHlousse Fatima ZahraEDP SciencesarticleEnvironmental sciencesGE1-350ENFRE3S Web of Conferences, Vol 319, p 01046 (2021)
