One of the causes of the radiation effect is the lack of attention of the radiographer to compliance with the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) in the shooting process. In addition to compliance, knowledge about PPE and the benefits of using PPE is also very important for other medical personnel to know (Djojosumarto, 2008). The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge of the radiographer and the level of compliance in using personal protective equipment (PPE).The type in this research is quantitative by using the Analytical Survey method using a cross sectional approach or cross-sectional design. The population in this study were radiographers who served in radiology installations totaling 18 radiographers and 18 samples using purposive sampling technique, this research was conducted by giving a questionnaire aimed at determining the level of knowledge and compliance of radiographers in using personal protective equipment (PPE), then the data was processed and analyzed using SPSS program. The results of the study found that the relationship between the level of knowledge of the radiographer and the level of compliance with the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) showed a significant value (p value < 0.05) meaning that there was a relationship between the level of knowledge of the radiographer and the level of compliance in using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
