C. Workplace characterization
At the time a program is established,
measurements of external dose should be made
at all locations where it occurs to delineate the
levels involved (workplace characterization).
Additional measurements should be made at the
same frequency as the contamination surveys to
identify the buildup of uranium in HEPA filters
and glove boxes.
Airborne contamination surveys should be
performed for:
Prompt detection of airborne contamination
for worker protection
Personnel dose assessment
Monitoring of trends within the workplace
Special studies
IV. Personnel protection requirements
Workers in uranium facilities need to be
appropriately trained on the hazards. DOE has
developed DOE-HDBK-1113-98, Radiological
Safety Training for Uranium Facilities, 1998.
This handbook provides DOE's guidance on
expectations for training of uranium workers.
A. Personnel air sampling
The use of personnel air sampling programs
should be considered in monitoring individual
Radiological Workers.
B. Protective clothing
As a minimum, personnel who perform
operations in controlled areas should wear
