Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Radiation Protection Convention, 1960 (No. 115) - Czechia (Ratification: 1993)

The Committee notes with interest the information provided in the Government's report in reply to its previous General Observation. In particular, it notes the Government's indication that the Directives concerning ionising radiation are being revised in order to reflect the recommendations made by the International Commission on Radiological Protection in Publication No. 26 and that these amendments will include extraordinary measures to be taken in abnormal situations. In this regard, the Committee would refer the Government to its General Observation under this Convention, in particular paragraphs 16 to 27 concerning the limitation of occupational exposure during and after an emergency and requests the Government to indicate, in its next report, the steps taken or being considered in relation to the matters raised in paragraph 35(c) of the General Observation.

The Committee would also draw the Government's attention to the other matters raised in its General Observation on the basis of the new findings set out in the 1990 Recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection. It requests the Government to indicate the measures taken to ensure the effective protection of workers in the light of current knowledge, in conformity with Article 3, paragraph 1, and Article 6, paragraph 2, of the Convention, and to indicate the steps taken or being considered in relation to the various points raised in the conclusions to the General Observation.
