Outside workers guidance on estimating radiation doses

摘要

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has updated its internal guidance to inspectors on how to ensure that employers are complying with the Ionising Radiations Regulations 1999 (IRR99) with respect to outside workers. Part of that guidance is reproduced here. This is based on guidance originally published in the Approved Code of Practice to the Ionising Radiations (Outside Workers) Regulations 1993, the provisions of which were superseded by the IRR99. NOTE: For the purpose of this guidance and to increase clarity, the following terms are used: 1. Direct employer (DE) - the employer of the outside worker; and 2. Indirect employer (IE) - the employer who has control of the controlled area in which an outside worker carries out services.
