Sir,
I move the resolution standing in my name on the Order
Paper in respect of the Radiation (Control of Radioactive Substances)
(Amendment) Regulations 1985 and Radiation (Control of Irradiating
Apparatus) (Amendment) Regulations 1985.
Under Section 13 of the Radiation Ordinance, the Radiation
Board may by regulations prescribe or provide for, inter alia, precautions
to be taken to prevent injury being caused by ionizing radiations to
the health of persons likely to be exposed to harmful radiation.
Having taken into account recent technological developments
in personnel radiation monitoring devices, the Board has proposed to
amend the Regulations to provide for a more flexible system of monitoring
including the types of monitoring devices allowed to be used by the
worker and the procedure for recording the dosages of radiation
received by persons engaged in radiation work.
The Radiation Board also proposed to amend the regulations
to enable the Authority to delegate to a public officer any of its
functions or duties, which are seen appropriate.
Sir, I beg to move.
