- define personal protective equipment;
- define the procedures for individual dosimetric monitoring;
The RPE defines the program of the periodic internal controls to be carried out, in accordance with the legislation in force (maintenance of control devices, verification of the safety of installations, waste management, surface contamination, ...).
The RPE controls and organizes the control by an outside body of the conformity of the installations with the different standards in force.
The RPE manages for the employer various administrative aspects: application for authorization, relations with the organizations, answers to the questions during the inspections, establishment of new normative frameworks with the evolutions of the legislation, etc ...
The RPE provides elements for the management of possible incidents.
