There is an increasing awareness of the need to protect people exposed to radiation in the course of their work. Methods and approaches must be tailored towards broader workforce requirements as the use of radiation and nuclear technologies grows across a range of sectors, experts agreed at the third International Conference on Occupational Radiation Protection that took place in Geneva last week.
The conference was organized by the IAEA, hosted by the Government of Switzerland and co-sponsored by the ILO and in cooperation with other international organizations. The focus of this conference was on the progress made in this field twenty years after the first International Conference on Occupational Radiation Protection, which was held also in Geneva, from 26 to 30 August 2002.
This event brought together around 700 radiation experts from 105 countries and representatives from regulatory bodies, workers’ associations and employers’ organizations, to identify emerging challenges and opportunities for workers in operations involving containing or handling radioactive material.
