Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1987, published 74th ILC session (1987)

Radiation Protection Convention, 1960 (No. 115) - Norway (Ratification: 1961)

Further to its previous direct requests, the Committee notes from the Government's report that, formally, Norway has not fixed an annual dose limit of 5 mSv for workers not directly engaged in radiation work; but, that in view of the very low exposures met in practice, such a limit could easily be adopted. The Committee hopes that in the near future, the Government will adopt measures which set an appropriate maximum permissible dose level of exposure for workers not directly engaged in radiation work, as required by Article 8 of the Convention.
