Ionising Radiations Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2017 (S.R. No. 229 of 2017).

These Regulations implement in part as respects to Nothern Ireland provisions of Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom and impose duties on employers to protect employees and other persons against ionising radiation arising from work with radioactive substances and other sources of ionising radiation. The Regulations also impose certain duties on employees.
The Regulations are divided into seven Parts: Part 1 contains interpretations and general provisions. Part 2 prohibits the carrying out of specified practices without the authorization of the Health and Safety Executive or other authority and imposes certain obligations on employers. Part 3 concerns arrangements for the management of radiation protection. The Regulations also provide that areas in which persons need to follow special procedures to restrict exposure or in which persons are likely to receive more than specified doses of ionising radiation be designated as controlled or supervised areas and restrict entry into controlled areas to specified persons and circumstances.
