Event Report Forms (ERFs) are filed to the IAEA. Sometimes there are multiple event reports, updating the rating, the event description. Here you only see the latest event report

ERF description: In July 2020 an incident happened at a company in Bavaria, Germany. According to the company's radiation protection supervisor, the X-ray sources of the thickness measuring system to be checked by a worker of a measurement technology company can be considered as the cause of the exposure. It seems most likely that the worker briefly ex-posed his hand with the ring dosimeter to the direct beam during adjustment work on the beam collimator. During the evaluation of a ring dosimeter for this worker, a dose value of 768 mSv was determined. It can be assumed that this is associated with a corresponding organ equivalent dose of the hand (limit value 500 mSv per calendar year). Another dosimeter (OSL) measured a dose of 0.3 mSv (whole body). An electronic dosimeter showed a dose value of 38 µSv. The dose limit (whole body) for radiation workers is 20 mSv per calendar year.
