France has taken a significant step forward in protecting young workers from the risks associated with ionizing radiation. Decree No. 2026-260, published in the French Official Journal (Journal Officiel) on April 10, 2026, strengthens employer obligations by establishing individual dosimetric monitoring as the new regulatory standard.
What this means for employers?
Under this new French regulation, employers operating in radiation-controlled environments must:
- Provide each young worker exposed to radiation with a functional, compliant personal dosimeter
- Ensure continuous monitoring of radiation doses received, in accordance with the ALARA principle
- Monitor radiation levels at workstations
- Ensure rigorous traceability of exposures, in collaboration with radiation protection advisors and occupational health services
