Supervisor's Responsibilities (continued)

IV. Control the spread of contamination

Assure that material is not removed to uncontrolled areas without

survey.

Assure cleanliness and good housekeeping in the work area.

Reduce materials entering radiological areas to minimize waste

generation and potential for fire.

V. Reduce worker exposure

A. Administrative dose limits

Your workers should not be allowed to go above the facility

Administrative Control Level for dose without the prior approval of the

contractor senior site executive.

Approval by the appropriate Secretarial Officer or designee should be

obtained prior to allowing a person to exceed 2,000 mrem.

B. Use the RWP

Verify that entry points to radiological work areas and radiation areas

are posted to state basic entry requirements, such as dosimetry,

Radiological Work Permits (RWP) and respiratory equipment required.

The dose rate and contamination level or range of each should be

included in the posting.

Ensure that your workers have read, understood and will comply with

the RWP.

Assure that workers use the dosimetry, personal protective equipment

and clothing prescribed in the RWP.
