Information to the public about health protection measuresN.I.
2.—(1) Every consignor, carrier and consignee carrying out the transport of a consignment shall—
(a)ensure that any members of the public who are in an area in which, in the opinion of the Northern Ireland competent authority, they are likely to be affected by a radiological emergency arising from the undertaking of that carrier, consignor or consignee are supplied, in the appropriate manner approved by the Northern Ireland competent authority and without their having to request it, with at least the information set out in sub-paragraph (2); and
(b)make that information publicly available, which includes endeavouring to enter into an agreement or arrangement with the district council in the area referred to in head (a) for the dissemination by that authority of the information required to be supplied to members of the public in accordance with that sub-paragraph.
(2) The following is the information that is to be supplied and made available—
(a)the basic facts about the radioactivity and its effects on persons and on the environment;
(b)the various types of radiological emergency possible and their consequences for the general public and the environment;
(c)the emergency measures envisaged to alert, protect and assist the general public in the event of the occurrence of a radiological emergency;

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 (Northern Ireland) 2000() (“the 2000 Regulations”) and, accordingly, the consignor, carrier or consignee (as the case may be) has the same duties with regard to the monitoring of such persons as are imposed upon an ‘employer’ by regulations 21 to 26 of the 2000 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 2000 Regulations will be exceeded, provided that the person who is proposed to be 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 2000 Regulations could be exceeded.

(a)the principle that intervention is to be undertaken only if the damage due to the radiation resulting from the radiation emergency is sufficient to justify the potential harm and the potential cost (including the social cost) of that intervention;
(b)the principle that the form, scale and duration of the intervention should ensure that the benefit to health will be greater than any harm that might be associated with the intervention itself;
(c)the dose limits provided for in Schedule 4 to the Ionising Radiations Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2000; and
(d)the levels of radiation dose applicable in an emergency that are specified by the Health Protection Agency pursuant to its functions under section 3 of the Health Protection Agency Act 2004().

of that event;
(b)assist in the intervention that is made in connection with any radiological emergency; and

(3) If a consignor of class 7 goods becomes aware of the occurrence of a notifiable event in relation to those goods the consignor shall—
(a)immediately notify—
(i)the Chief Constable; and
(ii)the Northern Ireland competent authority,
of that event (unless either the driver or the carrier has already done so);
(b)assist in the intervention that is made in connection with any radiological emergency; and
(c)provide the Northern Ireland competent authority with details of the incident that gave rise to that emergency.
(4) If a consignor of class 7 goods becomes aware that emergency arrangements have been initiated in relation to his consignment the consignor shall notify the Northern Ireland competent authority of the initiation of those arrangements even if, in the event, no intervention was made pursuant to those arrangements.
