Activities about natural radiation included in the new standard basic safety

The new Basic Safety Standards directive now also covers work activities which involve the presence of natural radiation sources. The Member States are requested to identify by means of surveys or by any other appropriate means work activities which lead to a significant exposure of the workers or the public. Corrective measures to reduce exposures and a system of radiological protection shall be applied to occupational and in public exposures where appropriate. (Author) 2 refs
