Abstract
Adequacy of individual monitoring of external exposure at the workplace Individual monitoring of workers exposed to external radiations must fulfil technical, regulatory and organizational requirements. The external dosimetry should be adapted to the workplace. The relevant dosimetric techniques have to be chosen upon the workplace study that conditions both the categorization of exposed workers and classification of areas. Solutions exist which are satisfactory for the most situations. However, rational solutions still have to be found for a few specific situations.


Résumé
La surveillance dosimétrique des travailleurs exposés au risque d'exposition externe répond à des exigences à la fois techniques, réglementaires et organisationnelles. Maillon essentiel du dispositif de radioprotection, cette surveillance individuelle doit être adaptée au poste de travail. Le choix des techniques à mettre en oeuvre repose sur l'étude du poste de travail dont les résultats conditionnent à la fois le classement des travailleurs et le zonage radiologique des locaux. Des solutions satisfaisantes existent dans la grande majorité des cas. Des solutions rationnelles restent en revanche à trouver dans quelques situations spécifiques.


Key words: individual monitoring -- dosimetry -- regulation -- workplace

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
