who assists in an intervention and is liable to be subjected to emergency exposure shall be treated as being a person classified pursuant to regulation 20 of the Ionising Radiations Regulations 1999(6) (“the 1999 Regulations”) and, accordingly, the consignor, carrier or consignee (as the case may be) shall have the same duties with regard to the monitoring of such persons as are imposed upon an “employer” by regulations 21 to 26 of the 1999 Regulations.
(2) To the extent it is necessary in order to save human lives, an emergency exposure is permitted as a result of which the dose limit specified in paragraph 1, 2, 6, 7 or 8 of Schedule 4 (Dose Limits) to the 1999 Regulations will be exceeded, provided that the person who it is proposed is subjected to a dose in excess of the limit provided for in the relevant paragraph is a volunteer and has been informed of the risks involved in the intervention.
(3) In this paragraph, “emergency exposure” means an exposure of a person engaged in an activity of, or associated with, the response to a radiation emergency or potential emergency in order to bring help to endangered persons, prevent exposure of a large number of persons or save a valuable installation or goods where one of the individual dose limits referred to in paragraphs 1 or 2 of Part 1 of Schedule 4 to the 1999 Regulations could be exceeded.

(c)the dose limits provided for in Schedule 4 of the Ionising Radiations Regulations 1999; and
(d)
(i)if the Health Protection Agency has specified levels of radiation dose applicable in an emergency pursuant to its functions under section 3 of the Health Protection Agency Act 2004(7), those levels; or
