Employer authorisation to access controlled areas

French legislation (French labour code, Art 4451-32) authorises workers who are not classified as category A or category B radiation workers to access, under certain conditions, blue supervised radiation areas, green and yellow controlled radiation areas. These areas are part of the designated radiation areas presenting a risk of exposure to ionising radiation.

ILL’s users spend most of their time working in supervised radiation areas or in green controlled radiation areas. The ILL’s experimental areas are classified as yellow radiation areas when the neutron beam is closed. Users may therefore have to enter yellow radiation areas, in particular in order to change their sample or verify the setup of the sample environment.

For ILL users to be authorised to access the above areas, this authorisation must be completed and signed by the employer and returned  by email to user-office@ill.eu.
