¹ If a dose lim­it spe­cified in Art­icle 56 or 57 is ex­ceeded, the su­per­vis­ory au­thor­ity shall de­cide wheth­er the per­son con­cerned must be placed un­der med­ic­al sur­veil­lance.

² The phys­i­cian shall in­form the per­son con­cerned and the su­per­vis­ory au­thor­ity of the res­ults of his or her in­vest­ig­a­tion and pro­pose meas­ures to be ad­op­ted. If the per­son con­cerned is an em­ploy­ee, the phys­i­cian shall also in­form Suva.

³ The phys­i­cian shall re­port to the su­per­vis­ory au­thor­ity:

a.

data con­cern­ing any early ef­fects de­tec­ted;

b.

data con­cern­ing ill­nesses or spe­cial pre­dis­pos­i­tions mak­ing it ne­ces­sary to de­clare the per­son un­fit for ra­di­ation work;

c.

bio­lo­gic­al do­si­metry data.

⁴ If the per­son con­cerned is an em­ploy­ee, the phys­i­cian shall also re­port the data to Suva.

⁵ Suva, or the su­per­vis­ory au­thor­ity in the case of per­sons not in em­ploy­ment, shall take the ne­ces­sary meas­ures. It may or­der a tem­por­ary or per­man­ent ex­clu­sion from activ­it­ies in­volving oc­cu­pa­tion­al ex­pos­ure.
