Abstract::
      With the growing demand for global air transport and the increasing complexity of route networks, the occupational radiation exposure management for aircrew (OREMA for short) has become internationally an important research topic that needs to be addressed in the field of radiation protection. This paper systematically reviews the reports, standards and guidelines issued by the related international organizations International Commission on Radiological Protection(ICRP),International Atomic Energy Agency(IAEA)and International Civil Aviation Organization(ICAO), analyzes the policies and practices on OREMA in major regions worldwide such as the European Union, North America, and Asia-Pacific, and explores their commonalities and differences through typical cases that haved appeared. The commonality is that most countries have set up special management agencies, adopted the ICRP-recommended values, emphasized special protection of pregnant women, and paid importance to education and training on radiation risk. The differences are manifested in the aspects of dose monitoring methodology, policy implementation intensity, estimation models, and policies on protecting pregnant women. In the process of OREMA the challenges of uneven policy implementation intensity and insufficient technical cost investment in different countries have become increasingly prominent. The existing typically controversial cases have also revealed the complexity of industry development and occupational exposure management. Technological progress, uniformly implemented policy intensity, and carrying out of radiation epidemiological research may be the countermeasures required to solve these problems and also an important trend towards promoting the healthy development of OREAM worldwide.
