Subcommittee 1 of the JHPS Working Group on Accidental X-ray Exposures has discussed issues based on field-specific perspectives from cases of X-ray accidents and troubles and their backgrounds, mainly positioned as proposals and recommendations to the Expert Group for solving the problems. As a result, it was agreed that it is extremely important to improve education and training, including the development of a safety culture, whether in the field of industry, research or medicine. Stakeholders closely related to X-ray generators are encouraged to refer this report to promote the safety level of environments for the use of the equipment. Experts should continue to develop the mechanisms of academic societies and strengthen their cooperation activities with other organizations and institutions to ensure that the stable, appropriate and effective use of X-rays can continue on the basis of an enhanced safety environment.
