BE SURE TO

Wear personnel monitoring devices where required by radiological work permits, signs, procedures,

or by radiological control personnel. Report immediately the loss, damage, or unexpected exposure

of personnel monitoring devices or off-scale readings of self-reading dosimeters to the radiological

control organization.

Keep track of your radiation exposure status and avoid exceeding radiological administrative control

levels.

Wear personal protective equipment and clothing properly whenever required by radiological work

permits or postings.

Minimize the spread of potential radioactive spills and promptly notify the appropriate personnel of

all spills.

Avoid contact of skin, clothing, and equipment with contaminated surfaces.

Place contaminated tools, equipment, and solid waste items on disposable surfaces, such as plastic

sheets, when not in use.

Notify radiological control personnel of alarming or faulty radiological control equipment.

Notify radiological control personnel of off-site occupational radiation exposures so that worker

dosimetry records can be updated.
