The Committee notes the Government's last report. It would be grateful if the Government would supply information on the nature of the activities in Bermuda which involve the exposure of workers to ionising radiations in the course of their work. Specifically, please indicate whether any workers are subject to exposure in activities other than medicine and dentistry, as Article 2 of the Convention applies to all activities.

The Committee further notes that pursuant to sections 7 and 8 of the Radiation Act of 1972, regulations and recommendations may be promulgated to provide for protection against ionizing radiations. It would be grateful if the Government would indicate whether any such regulations or recommendations have been promulgated and if so, please supply copies thereof.
