Its other members are representatives of the Regional Trade Council or Regional Committee of the relevant trade union and practitioners. The Commission may waive the examination of persons whose competence is undisputed. The Commission shall issue a certificate of the test or of the abandonment of the test for the reasons set out above.
(2) Before starting work with radiation sources and periodically, at least every 6 months, workers must demonstrate their competence in the safe handling of radiation sources by examination to the head of the workplace in the intended use. The test shall be recorded and stored at the workplace.
(3) Where the supervisory authority (Paragraph 28) has doubts as to the competence of persons working with radiation sources, it may require them to submit to the examination of their knowledge before the commission referred to in paragraph 1.
(4) The tests referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall examine whether workers are familiar with the methods of protection against the type of used or emerging ionising radiation at work, the safe treatment of sources of radiation, the rules for protection against ionising radiation at the workplace, the working order and the principles for protection of workplace surroundings and procedures in unforeseen cases.
(5) The head of the workplace or the head of the plant shall be obliged to exclude workers who seriously violate regulations for protection against ionising radiation from further work with radiation sources; the supervisory authorities are also entitled to do so (Section 28).
Construction and equipment of workplaces with radiation sources
(1) The general hygiene requirements set for the construction of industrial plants *) and the requirements laid down by binding technical standards for the implementation of protection against ionising radiation must be complied with when building radiations.
(2) The construction material and the construction of walls, curtains and covers and equipment and the internal layout of the workplace must be selected in such a way as to ensure sufficient protection of persons in the workplace and persons living close to the workplace when working with sources of radiation (including foreseeable accidents), and that, according to the nature of the workplace, they can be cleaned as quickly and efficiently as possible from radioactive substances.
(3) The workplaces shall be equipped with all the necessary equipment to protect against ionising radiation and a sufficient number of suitable devices for measuring doses or dose intensities of all types of radiation that may occur at work. In addition, open-light workplaces shall be equipped with instruments for measuring radioactive contamination of workplaces and persons and, in cases specified by technical standards and instruments for measuring concentrations of radioactive substances in the atmosphere of workplaces and waste water.
(4) The project documentation of workplaces with radiation sources shall, to the extent necessary to assess all circumstances related to the protection of workers and the environment of the workplace, be submitted for approval to the sanitary and anti-epidemic service authorities and discussed with the supervisory authorities of the Revolutionary Trade Union Movement for Safety and Health at Work. Type materials of workplaces with radiation sources must not be issued without a positive opinion of the chief hygienist of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic.
Operation at workplaces with radiation sources
(1) Permanent work with radiation sources must be carried out at permanent workplaces with radiation sources. However, transitional work with sources of radiation, i.e. work to be carried out for a short period of time, may also be carried out at normal workplaces (intermediate workplaces), plant (equipment), must reserve the necessary space for such work or other measures to ensure that workers who do not directly work with sources of radiation are not exposed to ionising radiation at a value exceeding 5 mrm per 8 hours or to concentrations of radioactive substances in the air exceeding 10 times the maximum permitted concentrations of these substances in the outdoor air (Annex 1). Transitional work with open radiators may be carried out only where sufficient cleaning of space from radioactive substances and personal cleaning of workers is ensured and ensure that radioactivity does not extend to the surrounding area.
(2) Permanent irradiated workplaces and transitional workplaces with open radiators may be put into service and cancelled only with the agreement of the sanitary and anti-epidemic service authorities. The establishment of transitional centres with other sources of radiation shall immediately notify the management of the plant (s) to the county hygienist. Consent to put into service may be given only after all construction and installation works have been completed, after perfect cleaning and after ensuring all conditions for safe and safe working with radiation sources. These workplaces may be abolished only if it is demonstrated that the sources of radiation have been removed from the workstation and that contamination of the workplaces with radioactive substances has been reduced to acceptable levels (Section 12). Consent to start-up or cancellation of the workplace shall be made in the form of registration of the inspection or the measurement of the workplace. Paragraph 20 is not affected.
(3) The approval of the supervisory authorities of the Revolutionary Trade Union Movement on Safety and Health at Work and the Fire Inspection Authorities is also needed to put a permanent workplace with radiation sources into service. Any intended changes to the state under which the permanent or temporary operation of the workplace with sources of radiation has been authorised shall also be discussed with those authorities.
(1) The general hygiene requirements laid down for the operation and maintenance of industrial enterprises shall be complied with at work with radiation sources. *)
(2) When working with sources of radiation, anxiety purity and order must be maintained. All operations with these sources, in particular radioactive radiators, shall be pre-rehearsed in a model without a source of radiation so that the risk of radiation at work is minimised.
(3) The effectiveness of the protection by measuring dose intensities at the worker's place of residence must be verified prior to the work where the risk of external exposure arises. This check shall be repeated regularly, in particular in the case of changes in the working process or in the arrangements for protection. The measurement of personal radiation doses shall be carried out in an appropriate manner for all workers where the degree of exposure is such that it could lead to doses greater than one tenth of the maximum permissible doses (Annex 1).
(1) If there is an increase in radiation in the workplace or a dispersion of radioactive substances (e.g. in an accident, damage to closed fluorescent lamps, failure of protective measures, etc.), the
(a) inform immediately the head of the place of work and the worker responsible for the protection [§ 5 (d)];
(b) immediately close or block the area where radioactive substances have been dispersed and prevent unauthorised persons from accessing it; persons designated for decontamination work shall be allowed access to this site only if the necessary measures are followed and supervised by a worker providing protective dosimetry;
(c) examine the head of the workplace whether internal contamination of workers with radioactive substances may have occurred. If internal contamination cannot be reliably ruled out, measures must be implemented as directed by the Ministry of Health for First Aid in an accident with radiation sources. At the same time, the head of the workplace shall inform immediately of such an accident of the nearest medical establishment and the sanitary and anti-epidemic services authorities. The same procedure is followed when workers are exposed,
(d) if internal contamination can be reliably eliminated, to be immediately decontaminated by appropriate methods to the lowest levels which can be achieved by repeated procedures without violating the skin surface;
(e) to decontaminate other contaminated surfaces by repeated appropriate methods to the lowest levels available. *) Work clothing contaminated above these levels must be replaced, stored in suitable packaging and properly decontaminated before further use,
(f) maintain further instructions which, depending on the nature of the workplace, provide for the management of the plant (s) with the approval of sanitary and anti-epidemic services;
(g) carry out a special alert on the accident and its destruction, which shall be verified by the head of the workplace and by the staff responsible for the protection supervision.
(2) Articles leaving the workplace with sources of radiation (instruments, instruments, working clothes, etc.) shall not be contaminated on the surface more than that referred to in paragraph 1 (e). This does not apply to articles leaving the workplace in the prescribed manner as radioactive waste (Sections 16 to 19).
(1) The sources of radiation, materials, tools and equipment used to work with these sources, packaging and means of transport for the transport of radioactive radiators, workplaces and objects for the work of ionising radiation sources, with the exception of X-ray centres in health care and objects used on them, must bear the prescribed warning symbol of the danger of ionising radiation, visible at a safe distance. * *)
(2) The following documents must be stored at the places of work with radiation sources and submitted to the supervisory and supervisory authorities (Section 28) upon request:
(a) authorisation for the collection, storage and use of radiation sources;
(b) the approval (registration) of the supervisory authorities with the entry into service of the workplace, as well as decisions taken in the context of the supervision of the workplace;
(c) the operational records of the use and / or movement of sources of radiation and the certificates of the lamps used;
(d) records of the disposal of radioactive waste;
(e) evidence of carrying out prescribed medical examinations of workers and proficiency tests (Section 8);
(f) records of doses of radiation received by workers and data on the measurement of concentrations of radioactive substances in the air.
(3) The conditions of employment and the instructions on the procedure in the event of an accident must be posted in an accessible location (§ 12 (1)).
Manufacture of equipment with radiation sources
(1) Equipment containing radioactive radiators and equipment in which ionising radiation is produced must not be mass produced or imported in bulk unless the prototype has been positively assessed by the main hygienist of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. This provision also applies to equipment which is used to work with radiation sources and whose construction may affect the degree of protection against radiation.
(2) The equipment referred to in paragraph 1, if intended for work outside the workplace with radiation sources, must ensure that persons who use them are not exposed to more external exposure than 0,5 r per year by design, installation and use. These devices shall not contain open lamps.
Transport of radioactive lamps
(1) Radioactive lamps must be transported in solid and impermeable packaging preventing leakage of content under foreseeable circumstances. The packages in which the radioactive radiators are transported shall be appropriately labelled; they shall not be contaminated on the surface.
(2) Transport of radioactive radiators between locally separated workplaces, unless mass transport is carried out (paragraph 5), shall be carried out by a two-track motor vehicle so equipped as to avoid loss of the radiator during transport.
(3) Open lamps may be transported in at least two securely sealed protective packages. In the case of the transport of open liquid radiators, a filling of suitable material shall be placed between the two protective packages which is able to absorb all quantities of radioactive material transported.
(4) In the position of the driver or other persons who are transported at the same time as the radios, the radiation intensity shall not exceed 50 mrm per 8 hours. However, if persons who work with radiation sources or who regularly transport radioactive substances are concerned, they shall be ensured that they do not exceed the maximum permitted radiation doses for radiation sources (Annex 1); these persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Decree concerning workers working with radiation sources.
On the surface of the vehicle, the radiation intensity at any point shall not exceed 200 mrm per 1 hour. If the driver stops the transport of radioactive substances anywhere in the vehicle, he / she must ensure that he / she is guarded by a trained person. The vehicle shall be visibly marked and marked in a conspicuous place; the inscription shall include a call for the immediate notification of the nearest Department of Public Security and Sanitary-Epidemiological Station in the event of an accident and a warning against any treatment of a crashed vehicle.
(5) Details of the transport of radioactive substances by mass transport and mail are provided by the Ministry of Transport and the Central Management of Communications in agreement with the main hygienist of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic.
External environment protection
(1) plant (s) shall not, without the agreement of the authorities of the sanitary and anti-epidemic services, discharge or deposit radioactive radiators and radioactive waste into the air; the approval of the placing of such lamps on the soil shall be given by the sanitary and anti-epidemic services authorities in agreement with the water authorities. The disposal of radioactive waste by discharge into water may only be authorised by the water authorities in accordance with the provisions on water management. *)
(2) The essential guidance in the decision-making of the authorities referred to in paragraph 1 shall be to ensure that the ambient air in which the population, the food and drinking water and surface water are contaminated as little as possible by radioactive substances and that, in no case, they are contaminated above the permitted values due to the use of radiation sources (Annex 1). In surface water, maximum permitted concentrations of radioisotopes are the same as in drinking water. Any threat to groundwater sources of drinking water by radioactive pollution is unacceptable.
(1) The methods for the disposal of radioactive waste, whether occurring at sites with radiation sources or by other means (e.g. in an accident), are approved by the authorities for sanitary and anti-epidemic services and, if liquid waste or if water quality is affected by disposal, water management authorities in agreement with the authorities for sanitary and anti-epidemic services.
(2) The plant (device), in which the environment may be threatened by sudden dispersal of radioactive substances, is required to draw up a plan of effective measures to rapidly eliminate the consequences of an accident that could occur and to ensure it, in cooperation with the District National Committee, the Regional Health Officer, the Regional Administration of the Ministry of Interior - the Administration of Public Security and the Supervisory Authorities of the Revolutionary Trade Union Movement on Safety and Health at Work. All such accidents shall be notified immediately to those authorities and, if groundwater and surface water are affected, to the competent water authority.
(1) Radioactive wastes must not be discharged directly into surface water.
(2) Only their activity in the plant shall be taken into account when assessing radioactive liquid waste. In order to reduce the radioactivity of waste water before discharge from the plant, dilution by other waste water only is permitted.
(3) Radioactive wastes with a concentration of radioactive substances not exceeding 100 times the maximum permitted concentrations of radioactive substances in drinking water may be discharged into the public sewerage only if at least 100-fold dilution of these waste waters is ensured at a rainwater effluent prior to the culmination of the sewerage into the purification station or surface water. If only a lower dilution of waste water is ensured before effluent to the sewerage, the concentration of radioactive substances in the waste must be proportionally lower.
(4) The provisions of paragraph 3 shall also apply to waste discharged into public sewerage from the sewerage of the plant or plant (e.g. hospitals). In such a case, the section of the plant sewerage in which the waste is undergoing an activity higher than 100 times the maximum permitted concentrations of radioactive substances in drinking water, in particular, must be identified in the plan for sewerage of the plant as "active sewerage 'and the work and repair carried out on it only under dosimetric control.
(5) The sludge generated in the cleaning plant must be treated as radioactive waste if it exceeds the specific and aggregate activity of the values set out in Section 2.
(6) In the case of liquid waste, the water authorities may allow an exemption from the provisions of paragraph 1 in agreement with the county hygienist in particular justified cases; in such cases, the concentration of waste may not exceed 10 times the maximum permitted concentration in drinking water. Otherwise, derogations from the provisions of the preceding paragraphs may be authorised by the regional hygienist in agreement with the competent water management authority. Paragraph 16 (2) is without prejudice to this.
(1) Radioactive wastes which are not disposed of in accordance with the previous provisions or storage at the workplace, such as concentrated liquid wastes, contaminated filter material and contaminated articles, must be suitably treated and transported to the central disposal site. Exemptions are permitted in justified cases by a regional hygienist.
(2) The transport and storage of radioactive waste at the central site is provided by the Institute for Research, Production and Use of Radioisotopes, or by another organisation entrusted by the Ministry of Chemical Industry. The method and conditions of transfer of radioactive waste for transport are laid down by this Institute with the agreement of the chief hygienist of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic.
(3) Any person storing or storing radioactive waste into the country before the date of application of this Decree is required to notify immediately the location of the waste, its quantity and the type of regional national committee which records such data or carries out other measures.
