Radiation Protection, Health Physics, Radiological Health, Radiological Protection : ILO Convention No. 115 (1960) concerns the protection of workers against ionizing radiations. No worker under the age of 16 shall be engaged in work involving ionizing radiations; nor shall any worker be employed where he/she could be exposed to ionizing radiations contrary to qualified medical advice. Effective protection for all other workers shall be ensured in the light of current knowledge. Every effort shall be made to reduce to the lowest practicable level their exposure to ionizing radiations, and any unnecessary exposure shall be avoided. The Convention sets out various provisions concerning measures to be taken by the ratifying ILO Member State, the fixing of maximum permissible doses of radiation and amounts of radioactive substances that can be taken into the body, warnings of hazards, the instruction of workers in the precautions to be taken, the notification of work involving exposure, monitoring of workers and the workplace, and the appropriate medical examinations.
