(a) Radiation exposure data for an individual and the results of any measurements, analyses, and calculations of radioactive material deposited or retained in the body of an individual shall be reported to the individual as specified in this section. The information reported shall include data and results obtained pursuant to this chapter, orders, or license conditions, as shown in records maintained by the licensee pursuant to section 11-45- 83. Each notification and report shall: (1) Be in writing; (2) Include appropriate identifying data such as the name of the licensee, the name of the individual, and the individual's identification number, preferably social security number; (3) Include the individual's exposure information; and (4) Contain the following statement: "This report is furnished to you under the provisions of chapter 45. You should preserve this report for further reference." (b) Each licensee shall advise each worker annually of the worker's dose as shown in records maintained by the licensee pursuant to section 11-45-83. (c) Each licensee shall furnish a report of the worker's exposure to sources of radiation at the request of a worker formerly engaged in activities controlled by the licensee. The report shall include the dose record for each year the worker was required to be monitored pursuant to section 11-45-54. Such report shall be furnished within thirty days from date the request §11-45-191 45-150 was made, or within thirty days after the dose of the individual has been determined by the licensee, whichever is later. The report shall cover the period of time that the worker's activities involved exposure to sources of radiation and shall include the dates and locations of work under the license in which the worker participated during this period. (d) When a licensee is required pursuant to section 11-45- 90 to report to the department any exposure of an individual to sources of radiation, the licensee shall also provide the individual a report on the exposure data included therein. Such reports shall be transmitted at a time not later than the transmittal to the department. (e) At the request of a worker who is terminating employment with the licensee in work involving exposure to radiation or radioactive material, during the current year, each licensee shall provide at termination to each such worker, or to the worker's designee, a written report regarding the radiation dose received by that worker from operations of the licensee during the current year or fraction thereof. If the most recent individual monitoring results are not available at that time, a written estimate of the dose shall be provided together with a clear indication that this is an estimate.

(a) Each licensee shall afford to the department at all reasonable times opportunity to inspect materials, machines, activities, facilities, premises, and records pursuant to this chapter. (b) During an inspection, department inspectors may consult privately with workers as specified in section 11-45-193. The licensee may accompany department inspectors during other phases of an inspection. (c) If, at the time of inspection, an individual has been authorized by the workers to represent them during department inspections, the licensee shall notify the inspectors of such authorization and shall give the workers' representative an opportunity to accompany the inspectors during the inspection of physical working conditions. (d) Each workers' representative shall be routinely engaged in work under control of the licensee and shall have received instructions as specified in section 11-45-190. (e) Different representatives of licensees and workers may accompany the inspectors during different phases of an inspection if there is no resulting interference with the conduct of the inspection. However, only one workers' representative at a time may accompany the inspectors. (f) With the approval of the licensee and the workers' representative, an individual who is not routinely engaged in work under control of the licensee, for example, a consultant to the licensee or to the workers' representative, shall be afforded the opportunity to accompany department inspectors during the §11-45-194 45-151 inspection of physical working conditions. (g) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this section, department inspectors are authorized to refuse to permit accompaniment by any individual who deliberately interferes with a fair and orderly inspection. With regard to any area containing proprietary information, the workers' representative for that area shall be an individual previously authorized by the licensee to enter that area.
