Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1987, published 74th ILC session (1987)

Radiation Protection Convention, 1960 (No. 115) - French Polynesia

With reference to its earlier comments, the Committee notes with satisfaction the adoption on 13 December 1985 of Order No. 1238/cm which gives effect to the Convention to a large extent, with respect to external exposure of workers to ionising radiations. The Committee recalls however, that Article 2, the Convention applies to all activities involving exposure of workers to ionising radiations and this would include internal exposure as well as external exposure. The committee hopes that the Government will be able to take steps in the future to ensure effective protection of workers against internal exposure to ionising radiations, in accordance with the Articles of the Convention.
