Individual Monitoring and Categorization of Exposed Workers

Since 1995, EKOTEH has been providing personal dosimetry services to its clients (customers) who, in accordance with current regulations, are required to ensure personal radiation exposure monitoring for their exposed workers during their work. The service is provided based on the authorization of the Ministry of the Interior, Directorate of Civil Protection.

Personal dosimetry is conducted using thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD) Panasonic UD-802 and UD-803 (Li₂B₄O₇:Cu), and the Panasonic UD-7900 reader, following the method PO 7.2.1-01. This method has been accredited by the Croatian Accreditation Agency (HAA) since 2009.

All EKOTEH’s contractual clients are registered in the dosimetry system by submitting a completed form available on the EKOTEH web page. Other required forms can be found on the web site of the Directorate of Civil Protection.

Categorization of Exposed Workers

The categorization of exposed workers is carried out based on the following:

  • A statement by the radiation protection officer regarding the types of ionizing radiation sources, the estimated workload, and the duties performed by the exposed worker;
  • An assessment of the external exposure of the exposed worker, based on the results of individual measurements obtained using passive personal dosimeters Hp(10), evaluation of the results of radiological monitoring of the workplace H*(10)/t, and potential exposure, taking into account exceptional circumstances during the handling of ionizing radiation sources.

The request for categorization is submitted via a designated form.
