Subject: Radiation Badges in a Research Facility
Colleagues,

I have been approached by several of our employees wanting to receive
your collective wisdom or consensus on the proper use of radiation
badges in a multi-project research facility.

 

We have several radiation sources within our facility. We issue both
finger ring and belt badges to monitor cumulative monthly exposures.
Those who either work in these labs or work in areas where they are
potentially exposed are in our program.

 

The question comes as to when they should wear these badges:

[1] Just in the labs where sources are present

[2] Areas outside where our source models indicate the possibility of
exposure is present

[3] Anytime when they are within the over facility

 

Your insights and citations are always appreciated.
