Abstract Objective To analyze the dose control level of emergency workers in a nuclear or radiological emergency. Methods According to the safety standards and technical reports issued by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and combined with lessons learned from response to Fukushima nuclear accident, the dose control levels of emergency workers are discussed. Results The guidance values for restricting exposure of emergency workers and methods for dose control of emergency workers are provided. It is found that monitoring of internal dose is important in dose control. The newly published IAEA safety standard "Preparedness and Response for a Nuclear or Radiological Emergency" improves the guidance values for restricting exposure of emergency workers, the standard in China needs to be revised. Conclusion It is suggested that the dose control level of emergency workers in China be revised by referring to the IAEA newly published standard and taking into account the special conditions in China, in order to protect emergency workers.
