(2) This regulation applies to a worker who, in the course of work associated with one or more facilities or premises operated by an employer, will receive a radiation dose that exceeds—
(a) under all foreseeable scenarios (including credible accident scenarios)—1 mSv per year; or
(b) under low probability scenarios (where the probability of occurrence of a scenario does not exceed 10 -2 per year)—a dose limit specified in regulation 85(1)(a)
or (2)
.
(3) If the type of ionising radiation emitted by a source of ionising radiation is of such a nature that there is no approved personal monitoring device for measuring a worker's exposure to that type of radiation, the employer must—
(a) immediately advise the Minister accordingly and set out the arrangements the employer proposes to make to monitor or model the exposure to ionising radiation of workers employed by the employer; and
(b) make such arrangements as the Minister directs in writing for the monitoring or modelling of that type of radiation and for the calculation of personal exposures from that monitoring or modelling (as the case requires).
Maximum penalty: $10 000.

(5) An employer who has issued to a worker a personal monitoring device must, whenever it is necessary for the device to be examined or processed—

by such persons, in such manner and at such times as are approved by the Minister.
Maximum penalty: $10 000.
Expiation fee: $500.
