abstract = {THE GERMAN REGULATORY SYSTEM OF MONITORING WORKER’S
DOSEP.HillForschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, S, 52425 Jülich,
GermanyIntroduction: The occupational safety of workers is
generally the competence of the single German states. All
matters of radiation protection in the professional
environment are governed by the national nuclear law.
Relating regulations form the statuatory framework for dose
monitoring. Federal government and states interact in the
implementation. A National Dose Registry has been
established. Several bodies and institutions are involved in
practical aspects of radiation protection.Radiation
Protection Ordinance: The Radiation Protection Ordinance is
the main statutuary document and regulates the handling of
sources of radiation as well as exposure, also including
NORM-Materials and medical research and applications.
Several paragraphs are dedicated to dose limits and dose
monitoring. Competent external/internal monitoring bodies
ensure the measurement and evaluation of dose. They have to
be notified by appropriate state authorities.Guidelines on
dose monitoring: The two parts of the main guideline are
dedicated to external and internal monitoring, rsp. The
guidelines contain detailed rules to implement the Radiation
Protection Ordinance. Under which circumstances is dose
monitoring mandatory? How has dose monitoring to be
performed. How are doses calculated? Which documentation is
required? These and other practical topics are covered. NORM
activities are subject of a separate guideline.Competent
external/internal monitoring bodies: They are subject to
notification by the authorities of the individual German
states. Presently there are 4 notified laboratories for
monitoring external dose and one laboratory specialised in
Radon measurements. For internal monitoring there are xx
notified in-vivo laboratorise, yy notified in- vitro
monitoring laboratories and zz notified for both in-vivo and
in-vitro. A Competent Internal Monitoring Body is described
in another contribution to this conference (CIMB-J).Federal
Office of Radiation Protection: Provides advice and some
mandatory intercomparisons. Operates the National Dose
Registry. Professional radiation workers and their
individual doses are registrated in the registry. The
registry ensures that doses resulting from different
employments during a carreer are all included in checking
the compliance with dose limits.Federal Radiation Protection
Commission: This commission is the advisory board to the
national government in matters of Radiation Protection. It
consists of individual members called to serve honorarily.
It gives recommendations on the different aspects of
radiation protection. Relevant to dose monitoring is e.g.
its recommendation on how to calculate body dose from
external sources.Joint committee of federal states and
national government: Coordinates matters of joint interest.
It approves e.g. the dosemeters (types) to be used in
official external dose monitoring. ‘Physikalische
Bundesanstalt’: This is the national state metrological
institute. It type tests dosemeters and approves their
fit-for-purposeness. It organizes annual intercomparisons
for dosemeters.},
