Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 83rd ILC session (1996)

Radiation Protection Convention, 1960 (No. 115) - Guinea (Ratification: 1966)

In the comments that it has been making for many years, the Committee noted the Government's intention to adopt regulations to provide protection against ionizing radiations. The Committee notes the Government's statements in its last report to the effect that the preparation of such measures is at an advanced stage and that the procedure for their adoption will follow the principles of tripartism. The Committee hopes that the Government will soon report the provisions which have been adopted and are applicable to all activities involving exposure of workers to ionizing radiations in the course of their work and in accordance with the dose limits mentioned in its general observation of 1992, in the light of current knowledge, such as that contained in the 1990 Recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) and the Basic Safety Standards for Protection Against Ionizing Radiation and for the Safety of Radiation Sources of 1994, developed under the auspices of the IAEA, ILO and WHO, and three other international organizations, which are based on the ICRP Recommendations.
