In this article, the historical analysis of the application of ionizing radiation sources in medicine and industry from the early stages of the development of radiation technology to the present day is shown. A retrospective (1945-1960) assessment of the personnel radiation doses in the X-ray diagnostic department (the use of open and closed X-ray tubes) and of the personnel of flaw detection laboratories (using collet grips and non-standard flaw detectors) showed a significant exceeding of the permissible values existing at that period of time. For the time present the existing system for the protection of personnel in medical and industrial establishments is shown to meet modern requirements, and the exposure levels are well below the permissible values established by RSB (Radiation Safety Norms)-99/2009. In intervention methods of research problems of further improvement of the personnel safety system are shown to exist, first of all, the development of technical solutions for the protection of the lens is required.
