Presidential Decree No. 138 of 2014 regulates Radiation Hazard Allowance for radiation workers who work as radiation workers in the health sector. This is because in carrying out their duties as radiation workers, they face direct patients and X-ray devices, and radiation workers have a higher risk of radiation impacts caused so that in carrying out their. This type of research is descriptive qualitative. Triangulation is carried out by confirming between data obtained from in-depth interviews (interview data) with data obtained from observations (observation data) and data obtained from studies/document studies with the number of informants interviewed 15 (fifteen) informants consisting of informants at the National Police of The Republic of Indonesia (POLRI) Hospital, informants at Ciawi Hospital and informants from the BNN Rehabilitation Center Clinic. Observation/observations, interviews, and documentation carry out this data collection. Purposive and snowball techniques were used to find informants in the study. The results of this study show that the implementation of the radiation hazard allowance policy for radiation workers at the National Police of The Republic of Indonesia (POLRI) Hospital currently needs to be paid because it is still waiting for the policy from the Chief of Police. The inhibiting factor is that radiation workers cannot choose benefits, as stated in Presidential Regulation 138 of 2014. Implementing the radiation hazard allowance policy at the BNN Rehabilitation Center Clinic was previously unpaid since Presidential Decree 48 of 1995. However, it began to be paid from 2014 to 2022 using Presidential Regulation number 138 of 2014 to 2022.
