Sažetak
In April 2011 statement on tissue reaction and in Publication 118 of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), a reduction in the equivalent eye dose limit in occupational exposure was recommended. Following this, in 2012 the International Radiation Protection Association (IRPA) initiated a process to survey the views of the Associate Societies (ASs) worldwide for discussion on the implementation of the new limits for the lens of the eye in occupational exposure. IRPA Task Group (TG) was established to identify key issues in the implementation. The TG reported its conclusions in 2013. In January 2015 IRPA established a TG Phase 2 to review progress with the implementation of the recommendation from the previous report and to collate current practitioner experience. The TG defined and promoted a survey with reference to: i) the best applied methods for monitoring dose to the lens ; ii) the updated and optimized methods used to reduce dose to the eye ; iii) the ongoing path towards implementation in the different countries at a legislative level. At the same time, this TG provides an opportunity to obtain the views of professionals of the IRPA ASs concerning and related to the wider generic issue of tissue reactions. The results of the survey on the view of the professionals of the IRPA ASs on the new limit to the lens of the eye and on the wider issue of tissue reactions are presented in the IRPA document ‘Report of Task Group on the impact of the Eye Lens Dose Limits’. TG was also working towards the development of practical recommendations about when and how eye lens dose should be monitored and of guidance on use of protective tools depending on the exposure levels.
