Council Directive 2013/59/EuratomShow full title

Article 35 U.K. Arrangements in workplaces

1. Member States shall ensure that for the purposes of radiation protection, arrangements are made as regards all workplaces where workers are liable to receive an exposure greater than an effective dose of 1 mSv per year or an equivalent dose of 15 mSv per year for the lens of the eye or 50 mSv per year for the skin and extremities.

Such arrangements shall be appropriate to the nature of the installations and sources and to the magnitude and nature of the risks.

2. For workplaces specified in Article 54(3), and where the exposure of workers is liable to exceed an effective dose of 6 mSv per year or a corresponding time-integrated radon exposure value determined by the Member State, these shall be managed as a planned exposure situation and the Member States shall determine which requirements set out in this Chapter are appropriate. For workplaces specified in Article 54(3), and where the effective dose to workers is less than or equal to 6 mSv per year or the exposure less than the corresponding time-integrated radon exposure value, the competent authority 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 6 mSv per year, the relevant requirements set out in this Chapter shall apply, allowing for the specific features of this exposure situation. Member States shall ensure that where the effective dose to the crew is liable to be above 1 mSv per year, the competent authority requires the undertaking to 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 risks their work involves and their individual dose.

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