This part comprises just the one regulation and re­quires the level of radiation in controlled and super­vised areas to be monitored. Section 4 of this chapter discusses how these aspects are applied within the CEGB.

Part 7: Assessments and Notifications The first three regulations of this part require that the employer assesses the consequences of any po­tential radiation hazard which may arise, produce a report of such and, where appropriate, prepare a con­tingency plan. This latter aspect is dealt with at nu­clear licensed sites by the site’s emergency plan. The Safety Rules (Radiological) also contain actions which must be carried out in the event of maloccurrences with radioactive material.

Regulation 28 contains the formal investigation re­quirement for doses in excess of three-tenths of the dose limit.

Regulations 29 and 30 deal with investigations and notifications in the case of exposures in excess of the dose limits and the subsequent dose limitation scheme in such cases.

Regulation 31 requires that radiation incidents be notified to the appropriate authority, when applicable.

Part 8: Safety of Articles and Equipment

This part deals with the safety aspects of equipment

involved with radiation, which may include such items

as X-ray sets and shielding devices. The requirement

is that the requirements of other regulations can be

fulfilled.
