The Health and Safety Executive's approval scheme for dosimetry services under the ionising radiations regulations 1985: Inspection of dosimetry services

  • 1. Health and Safety Executive, London (UK). Nuclear Installations Inspectorate

Description

The Ionising Radiations Regulations 1985 have provided since 1986 a legal framework in Great Britain for the approval of dosimetry services by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). The operation of this system is described in the paper with particular emphasis on the role of the HSE inspector in judging the adequacy of a service seeking approval under the Regulations. The criteria by which services are assessed and judged are described and examples of inspector action are cited together with some problems which are typical of operational field experience.
