Commentaries: Art. 56

For occupationally exposed persons, the effective dose must not exceed the limit of 20 mSv per calendar year.
For such persons, by way of exception and with the approval of the supervisory authority, the limit for the effective dose may be up to 50 mSv per calendar year, provided that the cumulative dose over five consecutive years, including the current year, is less than 100 mSv.
For such persons, the equivalent dose must not exceed the following limits:
1. for the lens of the eye: 20 mSv per calendar year or a cumulative dose of 100 mSv over five consecutive calendar years, subject to a maximum dose of 50 mSv in a single calendar year;
2. for the skin, hands and feet: 500 mSv per calendar year.
Occupationally exposed persons from abroad must, in Switzerland, only accumulate an effective dose of 20 mSv per calendar year, allowing for the dose already received in the current calendar year.
