1.0 GENERAL POLICY STATEMENT:

This instruction provides direction in developing and implementing procedures for compliance with
the Corporate Loss Prevention Policy as related to the safe use of ionizing radiation. It shall comply
with the regulations of the Government of Saudi Arabia, recognized standards and good practices in
radiological protection. Also, it is the Company's policy to adhere to the following main principles of
radiation protection :
1.1 No practice or a source within a practice should be authorized unless it produces sufficient
benefit to offset the potential radiation harm.
1.2 The normal radiation exposure of individuals resulting from an authorized practice or a
combination of authorized practices shall be restricted so that no applicable dose limit is
exceeded (as described in Section 4). Dose limits shall not apply to therapeutic or diagnostic
medical exposures from authorized practices.
1.3 Protection and safety shall be optimized in order that the number of individuals exposed to
radiation and the likelihood of incurring exposures are all kept as low as reasonably achievable
(ALARA).
