These verifications concern a limited number of inspection points, combined with indicators for conducting regional and national assessments. This approach is supplemented by deeper investigations focusing on specific themes defined on an annual or multi-year time frame. The radiation protection situation in the medical environment has been assessed essentially on the basis of the indicators associated with the control points. ׏ِ ב «ƺǕɖǼƏɎǣȒȇɀ ׏ِ ב ِ׏ JƺȇƺȸƏǼ ȸƺǕɖǼƏɎǣȒȇɀ Protection of the personnel working in facilities that use ionising radiation for medical purposes is governed by the provisions łĹ ŇĻĸ ĴĵłňŅ łķĸ Ҏ ŅŇļĶĿĸņ єׇӇӇӈӄіӄׇŇł єׇӇӇӈӄіӄӆӈׇłĹ ŇĻĸ Labour Code).
