Summary/Abstract: The Inspectorate of the State Regulatory Agency for Radiation and Nuclear Safety, in accordance with the Law on Radiation and Nuclear Safety in Bosnia and Herzegovina (“Official Gazette of BiH” No. 88/07), carries out inspection supervision of the possession and use of sources of ionizing radiation. Radiation safety control for users of sources of ionizing radiation in medical applications is performed by state inspectors for radiation and nuclear safety. Inspection supervision controls the aspects of radiation protection in medical exposure, including the protection of patients, persons who consciously and voluntarily provide assistance to patients undergoing medical exposure, as well as volunteers who participate in the research, prescribed by the Ordinance on the Protection against Ionizing Radiation in Medical Exposure (“Official Gazette of BiH” No. 13/11). Furthermore, the aspects of radiation protection of professionally exposed persons (workers) and population are controlled according to the Ordinance on Radiation Protection in Occupational Exposure and Exposure of the Population (“Official Gazette of BiH” No. 102/11), as well as the application of other regulations in the field of radiation safety adopted by the State Regulatory Agency for Radiation and Nuclear Safety. This paper presents a framework procedure for inspection supervision of institutions that carry out medical exposure, in terms of radiation safety. Also presented is a short analysis of the inspection supervision of sources of ionizing radiation in medical application conducted in 2015.
