Part VII (Duties of employees and miscellaneous— Regulations 34-41) The Regulations impose duties upon employees engaged in carrying out work with ionising radiation. The Regulations also— a provide for the approval of dosimetry services by the Executive; b provide for a defence on contravention of certain regulations; c provide for exemptions to be granted by the Executive; d specify the premises and activities within United Kingdom territorial waters adjacent to Northern Ireland to which the Regulations apply; e contain transitional provisions; and f introduce modifications relating to the Ministry of Defence. The Regulations make consequential amendments to the statutory provisions specified in Schedule 10 and revoke the Ionising Radiations Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1985 and the Ionising Radiations (Outside Workers) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993. In Great Britain the corresponding Regulations are the Ionising Radiations Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/3232). The Great Britain Health and Safety Executive has prepared a regulatory impact assessment in relation to those Regulations and a copy of the summary of that assessment, together with a Northern Ireland Supplement prepared by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment, is held at the offices of the Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland at 83 Ladas Drive, Belfast BT6 9FR, from where copies may be obtained. A person who contravenes the Regulations is guilty of an offence under Article 31 of the Health and Safety at Work (Northern Ireland) Order 1978 and is liable, on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum (currently £5,000) or, on conviction on indictment, to a fine.
