Abstract: In this paper, the risk factors were systematically analyzed using the risk matrix method by collecting previous cases of radiation accidents in industrial radiographic inspection in China. The study shows that among the 17 risk factors leading to radiation accidents in industrial radiographic inspection, 6 are general risk factors, 10 are medium risk factors, and 1 is a major risk factor. Tailored protective measures and strategies were proposed based on the risk analysis results.

Key words: industrial radiographic inspection, risk matrix method, radiation accident
