ANRDR for Uranium Mining and Milling Workers
The Australian Government is committed to strengthening occupational health and safety requirements for individuals working at uranium mining and milling sites.
The Australian Government is committed to strengthening occupational health and safety requirements for individuals working at uranium mining and milling sites.
The Australian National Radiation Dose Register (ANRDR) was established in 2010 to collect, store, manage and disseminate records of radiation doses received by workers in the course of their employment in a centralised database. The ANRDR has been open to receive dose records from operators since 1 July 2010.
The ANRDR was officially launched in June 2011 following full development of the Register, including a system for workers to be able to request their individual dose history record.
The ANRDR is maintained and managed by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA).
What data are we collecting?
The ANRDR records radiation dose information as well as some personal information so that we are able to link the dose information with the correct worker.
There are several different types of radiation, and different ways that radiation can interact with a worker. This dose register will record information on the doses received from these different radiation types and the pathways through which they interact with the worker.
The personal information collected includes the worker’s name, date of birth, gender, employee number, place of employment, employee work classification, and the period of time employed at a particular location. This information is collected in order to ensure that appropriate doses are matched to the correct worker. Please refer to the ANRDR Privacy Statement for further information on the collection, storage and use of personal information.
How will the data be used?
The data will be used to track a worker’s lifetime radiation dose history within the uranium mining and milling industry in Australia. A worker can request a dose history report from ARPANSA which will show the cumulative dose the worker has received during the course of their employment in the uranium mining and milling industry in Australia, and while the worker has been registered on the ANRDR.
The data will be used to create annual statistics showing industry sector trends and comparisons. It will also be used to assess radiological doses within worker categories to help establish recommended dose constraints for certain work practices.
