I. A year on average 3 dayparts have been spent on retraining or retraining on the subject of ionizing radiation. For the five-year tendering period, this means a total of 15 day-to-day parts;
II. In addition, one time during the five-year tendering period, a relevant periodic training course of at least two days shall be followed at the level of an education coordinating expert.
Evidence of participation in the post-or retraining course and the periodic training course shall be attached to the application for renewal of the invitation to tender.
The reporting shall provide the following information:
1. The results of the dosimetry carried out in that year.
(2) The changes made to the quality manual on the basis of EUR 14852 and any correspondence with the certifying institution thereon.
(3) The number of (inter) national surveys to which participated in and a summary of the results of such surveys.
4. The description of the changes to the security system of the data and the precautions taken to prevent the loss of data.
5. Any bottlenecks.
6. Any complaints received and the treatment thereof.
7. Any change in the division of tasks within the service and the changes in the composition of the board.
8. The (financial) annual report of the organization of the service.
There are unforeseen circumstances in which the dose determined with the person dosimeters, does not reflect the effective dose correctly. In such cases, the entrepreneur is required to make a request to have the dose recorded in NDRIS modified in accordance with the procedure described in the accompanying schedule.
In case of an error of a technical nature at the reading of the person dosimeter, which makes the dose meter rash incorrect, the dose metrical service may change through the operator of the NDRIS without the intervention of the Inspectorate SZW. of the dose data. The procedure described here then does not apply.
Schedule Modification of dose data in the NDRIS
A risk analysis identifies the following steps: Risk identification, risk calculation, and risk assessment. In a written report, these steps shall be elaborated and the following questions shall also be answered.
1. Risk identification:
• Have all sources of ionizing radiation and their properties been inventoried?
• What actions are taking place with these sources? Split acts in instalments, if necessary, in order to specify the exposure risks.
• Where do these acts take place?
• What measures (technical and organisational) have been taken to limit the exposure?
• What kind of exposure are the subject?
• How many (part) actions take place on an annual basis, and how many/what persons can be exposed to that?
• What 'anticipated unintended events' can contribute to the potential exposure?
2. Risk calculation:
• What annual dose is to be expected for the persons concerned on the basis of a responsible estimate of the regular and potential exposure?
In this respect, an understanding should be provided to:
-the effect of personal protective equipment,
-the possibility of preventing the 'anticipated unintended events'.
3. Risk assessment:
• The legislation shall be complied with in respect of:
-the classification of the persons concerned as an 'worker' or 'exposed worker' (category A or B) on the basis of the annual dose calculated 1
-the layout of spaces in 'controlled zone' or 'monitored zone',
-the basic principle of ALARA,
-dose limits,
-the need to take additional measures?
