S.L. 585.1 Art. 44Arrangements in workplaces.

(1) Undertakings shall give careful consideration and implement radiation protection arrangements as regards all workplaces where workers are liable to receive an exposure greater than an effective dose of 1mSv per year or an equivalent dose of 15mSv per year for the lens of the eye or 50mSv per year for the skin and extremities.

Such arrangements shall use the graded approach.

(2) For workplaces specified in regulation 64(3) and where the exposure of workers is liable to exceed an effective dose of 6mSv per year or a corresponding time-integrated radon exposure value to be determined by the Commission based on international guidance, these shall be managed as a planned exposure situation and the Commission shall determine which requirements set out in this Part VI are appropriate. For workplaces specified in regulation 64(3), and where the effective dose to workers is less than or equal to 6mSv per year, or the exposure less than the corresponding time integrated radon exposure value for the workers, the Commission shall require that exposures are kept under review.

(3) For an undertaking operating aircraft where the effective dose to the crew from cosmic radiation is liable to exceed 6mSv per year, the relevant requirements set out in this Part VI shall apply, allowing for the specific features of this exposure situation. In the case that an effective dose to the crew is liable to be above 1mSv per year, the undertaking is take appropriate measures, in particular:

(a) to assess the exposure of the crew concerned;

(b) to take into account the assessed exposure when organising working schedules with a view to reducing the doses of highly exposed crew;

(c) to inform the workers concerned of the health

(d) to apply regulation 10(1) to pregnant air crew.
