MODULE OUTLINE

This module allows each student to practice identifying work requirements for entering, working in,

and exiting a simulated radiological area using contamination control and ALARA techniques. The

instructor should correct errors or answer student questions.

A. Review an appropriate Radiological Work Permit (RWP)

Each worker must review an RWP to identify the specific requirements and special instructions

for the job.

Suggest: Using a facility-specific RWP and, if applicable, a survey map, conduct a pre-job

brief. Have students review the RWP and survey map and answer questions regarding each.

Suggest: 1) Conduct small group activity where one group can give the brief to the rest of

the class. 2) Provide a questionnaire and have groups complete it.

Incorporate lessons learned occurrences. (Demonstrate or discuss occurrence.)

Record the Appropriate Information on the RWP sign in sheet

After reviewing the RWP and identifying the applicable requirements, workers must record the

appropriate information.

Suggest: Using a facility-specific RWP, have students practice completing appropriate

information on RWP sign in sheet.

Incorporate lessons learned occurrences. (Demonstrate or discuss occurrence.)

C. Select Required Dosimeter(s) and Protective Clothing

Suggest: Using a facility-specific RWP, have students select dosimeter(s) and protective

clothing as per RWP.

Incorporate lessons learned occurrences . (Demonstrate or discuss occurrences.)

Dosimetry requirements

Radiological Control personnel identify the dosimeter requirements necessary for entry on the

RWP.

Supplemental pocket dosimeters should be worn outside the protective clothing,

accessible to the worker.

Workers should protect dosimeter from contamination by placing in a coverall pocket or

in plastic bags or pouches.

Protective clothing

Protective clothing is provided for all employees who enter contamination areas.

Effective use of protective clothing will minimize skin and personal contamination.
