CNCAN organizes the centralized record-keeping of doses for occupationally exposed workers
The accredited dosimetry bodies - designated by CNCAN and meeting the conditions laid down in Chapter VI of the Individual Dosimetry Norms - have the following obligations:
| • to maintain the records of the occupationally exposed persons monitored and of the doses assigned until the person concerned reaches or would have reached the age of 75 years, but for no less than 30 years after ceasing work as an occupationally exposed person • to make the results of individual monitoring available to CNCAN • to draw up annual statistics on collective doses and the number of occupationally exposed persons |
Authorization holders:
| • are required to make the results of individual monitoring available to CNCAN • must ensure that the results of individual monitoring are recorded for each occupationally exposed person and for all persons subject to accidental or emergency exposure • must ensure that the records of the results of individual monitoring are kept until the person concerned reaches or would have reached the age of 75 years, but for no less than 30 years after ceasing work as an occupationally exposed person • must inform the person concerned of the results of individual monitoring • must make the results of individual monitoring available to the competent physician so that the implications of the radiation exposures for the health of the exposed persons can be interpreted |
Authorization holders are required to make available to CNCAN the table of occupationally exposed personnel within the institution concerned, a table which shall contain the following information:
| a. Surname and first name; date and place of birth; personal identification number. b. General and specialist education. c. Qualification/Position. d. Specializations and refresher training subsequent to point b: name of the course; date of completion; organizer; CNCAN approval number. e. Starting date of the activity in the nuclear field and type of radiation field. f. Practice permit: field, speciality, number, level. g. The accredited dosimetry body providing dosimetric surveillance, on the basis of a contract with the authorization holder. h. The dose recorded in the last year of dosimetric surveillance. |
B. The record of the results of individual monitoring must include:
| • The record of the individual doses measured or estimated • Reports on the circumstances and the actions taken in the case of accidental and emergency exposures • The results of the radiological surveillance of the workplace, used for the assessment of doses • The results of the individual monitoring of specially authorized exposures and of accidental or emergency exposures (records kept separately from those of routine individual monitoring) |
C. Reporting
| • Reports on routine individual monitoring (monthly or at the frequency established by CNCAN) • Reports on individual monitoring in the case of accidental, specially authorized and emergency exposures • Special reports |
The accredited dosimetry bodies are required to report:
- To the authorization holder, the results of individual monitoring:
| • by the contractually agreed deadlines • in the case of accidental, specially authorized and emergency exposures • where any exceedance of the dose limits is found |
- To CNCAN, the results of individual monitoring:
| • every six months • immediately, any exceedance of a dose limit |
