Radiation Protection Convention
The Convention concerning the Protection of Workers against Ionising Radiations prescribes a number of measures, regulations, and laws to minimise the effects of ionising radiations on workers and employees. The convention is only applicable in cases where workers actively undergone exposure to ionising radiation in relation to their work and not to individuals receiving limited doses of radiation from radioactive substances and objects. State Parties must actively ensure that workers are protected by certain codes of practices and these measures are enshrined within their domestic legal code. These measures include ensuring individuals when working with ionising materials are actively provided with appropriate warnings about the hazards they will encounter in addition to clear health and safe instructions. Workers must also be actively monitored and undergone regular health examinations to ensure that they are not suffering undue risks or unnecessary levels of ionising radiations.
