Under IRR99, what is a basic duty of an employee?

• A. To expose themselves unnecessarily to gain experience
• B. To ignore safety measures
• C. Not to expose themselves unnecessarily and to use safety equipment; report overexposure
• D. To delay reporting any concerns

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that workers must protect themselves from ionising radiation by not exposing themselves more than necessary, by using the safety equipment provided, and by reporting any overexposure promptly. This aligns with keeping doses as low as reasonably achievable and with regulatory expectations that personnel follow safety procedures and use PPE. Deliberately exposing yourself for experience contradicts safety rules, ignoring safety measures breaks the regulations, and delaying reporting prevents timely protective actions, so those options are not correct.
