Description ICRP Publication 75 reports comprehensively on the principles for the protection of workers from ionising radiation. It develops guidance
on the implementation of the principles in the 1990 Recommendations of the ICRP (ICRP Publication 60), including the concepts of constraint
and reference levels. The report discusses the management of occupational exposure in normal and emergency situations, in industrial
and medical contexts, and with respect to natural sources of radiation, including radon, at work. Health surveillance of workers and
the management of overexposed individuals are considered. This report updatesICRP Publication 28 with respect to principles and procedures
for handling emergency and accidental exposures of workers, and, by laying out the principles of monitoring for external radiation, completely
replaces ICRP Publication 35. Monitoring for radionuclide contamination is also discussed. The report should also be of interest to a
wide readership including all those responsible for occupational health, at operational and managerial levels, as well as regulatory
bodies and professional organisations.
