Under French regulations governing radiation protection of workers, dosimetric workplace studies are mandatory. However, their practical implementation is not described. IRSN has developed a guide to help stakeholders in the radiological protection of workers conduct such studies. It proposes a general methodology applicable to most cases and ‘workplace sheets’, which apply this methodology to specific occupational settings. At present, two sheets are available: conventional radiology and interventional radiology.
