75  Occupationally exposed persons

 (1) It is a condition that the licence holder must:

 (a) identify all persons (the occupationally exposed persons) who are, or could be, occupationally exposed to ionising radiation or high levels of non‑ionising radiation in relation to the conduct of the regulated activity; and

 (b) ensure that each occupationally exposed person’s age, and whether they have declared that they are pregnant or breastfeeding, can be effectively taken into account for the purposes of keeping exposure as low as reasonably achievable within the applicable dose limits; and

 (c) provide for a personal radiation monitoring service for each occupationally exposed person; and

 (d) record doses received by each occupationally exposed person, including results from the personal radiation monitoring and how doses were calculated; and

 (e) register each occupationally exposed person on the Australian National Radiation Dose Register; and

 (f) provide data on doses received by each occupationally exposed person to the Australian National Radiation Dose Register:

 (i) at least once every 3 months during which the licence is in force (beginning on the day the licence is issued); or

 (ii) if the Regulator has specified, as a condition for the purposes of paragraph 32(1)(c) or subsection 34(2) of the Act, that the licence holder must provide data more frequently—at least as frequently as specified.

Note: The calculation of a period mentioned in subparagraph (f)(i) is not to include any periods during which the licence is suspended: see subsection 52(3).

Dose record to be provided to occupationally exposed person

 (c) on request at any time during the period of the licence.

Audit and review

 (3) It is a condition that the licence holder must:

 (a) for each period of 12 months during which the licence is in force (with the first of those periods beginning on the day the licence is issued), audit and review the doses received by occupationally exposed persons during that period for the purposes of optimising radiation protection in relation to the conduct of the regulated activity as required under subsection 69(1); and

 (b) cause the audit and review to be completed within 3 months after the end of the period to which the audit and review relates; and
