Opinion of 5 November 2008 on the notification for prior checking regarding occupational radiation exposure data (Case 2007-0383)
In order to ensure the legitimate performance of radiological surveillance and the implementation of fundamental principles governing operational protection of exposed workers the DG TREN Health Protection Cell (DG TREN H4) is processing personal data of staff members who are occupationally exposed to ionising radiation in the course of their work. Under special service contracts, approved laboratories deliver the results of occupational protection monitoring concerning staff members classified as occupationally exposed to ionising radiation.
The radiological surveillance and occupational monitoring data are entered manually into the Microsoft ACCESS bases Personal Dosimetry database of DG TREN H4. Data relevant to the personal radiology protection and surveillance are registered in individual radiation pass books. Following an occupational health examination, the medical service of the Commission submits information (yes/no) concerning the individual physical fitness of the staff members.
The EDPS delivered a prior checking opinion considering that there is no reason to believe that there is a breach of the provisions of the Regulation provided notably that the right of access and rectification of personal data of the persons concerned is not conditioned to "specific circumstances"; information is provided on the categories of recipients and right to have recourse to EDPS at any time; individuals receive the information listed in Article 12 (privacy statement) before the processing operation is launched; and that the confidentiality and security of communications is guaranteed when information is transferred between subcontractors and the DG TREN-H4, and between DG TREN-H4 and the national competent authorities.
