Introduction

Self assessment is part of an effective worker health

and safety program. As such, there are many

requirements related to conducting self

assessments and maintaining quality assurance

programs, such as those required under 10 CFR

830.120 ,or as part of an effective Integrated Safety

Management program. This module focuses on the

radiation protection required assessments and

audits.

10 CFR Part 835, Occupational Radiation

Protection, requires, in 10 CFR 835.102, that

internal audits of the Radiation Protection Program

be conducted at least every 36 months. The audits

shall include all radiation protection functional

elements.

Section 4.1.4 of DOE G441.1-1, Management and

Administration of Radiation Protection Programs

Guide, provides guidance on meeting the 10 CFR

835 requirement for audits. Section 4.2 of the

Guide includes a listing of radiation protection

functional elements and associated DOE guidance

documents.

Article 134 of DOE-STD-1098-99, Radiological
