title: IAEA Occupational Radiation Protection Programme.
abstract: The objective of the IAEA Occupational Protection Programme is to promote and assist in establishing an internationally harmonised approach for optimising occupational radiation protection. Guidance for IAEA Member States is provided through the hierarchical Safety Standards Series: Safety Fundamentals, Safety Requirements and Safety Guides. A set of three Safety Guides on occupational radiation protection has been published, jointly sponsored by the IAEA and the International Labour Office. Complementary advice, either topic specific or practice specific, is published as Safety Reports in other IAEA publications. In view of the technical difficulties associated with the introduction of the new radiation quantities for measurements and reporting, the IAEA assists its Member States by offering annual dosimetry intercomparisons. The purpose of this paper is to present the current and future IAEA activities in support of occupational radiation protection in the IAEA Member States.
