| Abstract |
If you are a manager of people who work with ionising radiations, or you are self-employed and carry out such work, this HSE information sheet is for you. It gives advice on the need to assess radiation doses under the Ionising Radiations Regulations 1999 (IRR99) and supporting guidance. Reliable dose information is essential to help you ensure that employees' exposure is properly controlled and dose limits are not exceeded. Contents: Introduction; Selection of an ADS; What do you need to tell your ADS? Care and use of dosemeters; Mislaid, lost or damaged dosemeters; Internal dose; Dose records; Don't assume the ADS supplying your dosemeters will keep dose records for your classified persons - make sure you have agreed arrangements with an ADS (record-keeping); Getting the best from dose summaries; Dealing with incorrect recorded doses; Overdoses; Informing employees; Outside workers; Short-term and self-employed workers; References; Further information. |
