For the purposes of paragraph 85(2)(a) of the Act, this Part requires practices and procedures to be followed and measures to be taken by controlled persons in relation to:

  1. (a)

    activities relating to controlled facilities; and

  2. (b)

    dealings with controlled apparatus or controlled material.

74Limits on the operation of this Part

This Part operates in relation to a controlled person who is the holder of a licence, or a person covered by a licence, only so far as the person can comply with the conditions of the licence without discriminating unlawfully under the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 and the Age Discrimination Act 2004.

Division 2Dose limits75Scope of this Division

This Division sets out practices and procedures that must be followed, and measures that must be taken, in relation to dose limits.

76Practices to be followed by holders of licences

By holder of a facility licence

  1. (1)

    The holder of a facility licence for a controlled facility must ensure that the doses to which a person is exposed, inside or in connection with the facility, do not exceed the effective dose limits mentioned in section 77, and the equivalent dose limits mentioned in section 79.

By holder of licence authorising dealing with controlled apparatus or controlled material

  1. (2)

    The holder of a source licence, or a facility licence, authorising dealing with controlled apparatus or controlled material must ensure that the doses to which a personis exposed while the source in the apparatus or material is under the holder’s control do not exceed the effective dose limits mentioned in section 77, and the equivalent dose limits mentioned in section 79.

By holders of licences generally

  1. (3)

    The holder of a licence must ensure that radiation protection and safety of the following relating to the licence are optimised in order to achieve the outcome mentioned in subsection (4):

    1. (a)

      controlled material;

    2. (b)

      controlled apparatus (other than apparatus prescribed by section 9 that produce harmful non‑ionizing radiation when energised);

    3. (c)

      a controlled facility.

  2. (4)

    For the purposes of subsection (3), the outcome is that the following are as low as reasonably achievable after taking into account economic and societal factors:

    1. (a)

      the magnitude of individual doses;

    2. (b)

      the number of people who are exposed;

    3. (c)

      the likelihood of incurring exposures to radiation.

  3. (5)

    The optimisation of radiation protection and safety mentioned in subsection (3) must be in accordance with source‑related dose constraints established in accordance with the Planned Exposure Code and agreed by the CEO with the holder of the licence.

  4. (6)

    The holder of a licence that authorises dealing with apparatus prescribed by this instrument that produce harmful non‑ionizing radiation when energised must ensure that exposure of people to such radiation produced by the apparatus is kept to the lowest level that can be achieved, consistent with best practice.

77Effective dose limits for ionizing radiation

Limit for occupational exposure of persons who are at least 18

  1. (1)

    The limit on effective dose for occupational exposure of a person who is at least 18 is 20 mSv annually, averaged over 5 consecutive years.

  2. (2)

    However, the effective dose for a person who is at least 18 subject to occupational exposure must not, in a year, be greater than 50 mSv.

Endnotes

Endnote 1About the endnotes

The endnotes provide information about this compilation and the compiled law.

The following endnotes are included in every compilation:

Endnote 1—About the endnotes

Endnote 2—Abbreviation key

Endnote 3—Legislation history

Endnote 4—Amendment history

Abbreviation key—Endnote 2

The abbreviation key sets out abbreviations that may be used in the endnotes.

Legislation history and amendment history—Endnotes 3 and 4

Amending laws are annotated in the legislation history and amendment history.

The legislation history in endnote 3 provides information about each law that has amended (or will amend) the compiled law. The information includes commencement details for amending laws and details of any application, saving or transitional provisions that are not included in this compilation.

The amendment history in endnote 4 provides information about amendments at the provision (generally section or equivalent) level. It also includes information about any provision of the compiled law that has been repealed in accordance with a provision of the law.

Editorial changes

The Legislation Act 2003 authorises First Parliamentary Counsel to make editorial and presentational changes to a compiled law in preparing a compilation of the law for registration. The changes must not change the effect of the law. Editorial changes take effect from the compilation registration date.

If the compilation includes editorial changes, the endnotes include a brief outline of the changes in general terms. Full details of any changes can be obtained from the Office of Parliamentary Counsel.

Misdescribed amendments

A misdescribed amendment is an amendment that does not accurately describe how an amendment is to be made. If, despite the misdescription, the amendment can be given effect as intended, then the misdescribed amendment can be incorporated through an editorial change made under section 15V of the Legislation Act 2003.

If a misdescribed amendment cannot be given effect as intended, the amendment is not incorporated and “(md not incorp)” is added to the amendment history.
