2.
Requirements for working in posted contamination areas.
The RadCon Manual recommends that individuals allowed unescorted entry into
Contamination Areas:
o
Avoid unnecessary contact with contaminated surfaces.
o
When possible wrap or sleeve materials and/or equipment brought into the area.
o
Do not touch unexposed skin surfaces. This could result in skin contamination.
Smoking, eating, chewing, drinking, and putting on makeup could result in ingesting
radioactive material; for this reason, the activities are not allowed in Contamination
Areas.
3.
Requirements for exiting posted contamination areas.
RadCon Manual recommends that individuals allowed unescorted entry into
Contamination Areas:
a.
Exit only at step-off pad.
o
A step-off pad provides a "barrier" between contaminated and other areas
to prevent or control the spread of contamination between areas. Correct
use of step-off pads is included in the practical factors exercise.
o
If more than one step-off pad is used, the final step-off pad is "clean,"
outside the exit point, and adjacent to the boundary of the Contamination
Area.
b.
Remove protective clothing carefully and slowly.
Loose contamination on the clothing can be dislodged causing a possible spread
of contamination or even potential inhalation if contamination becomes
airborne.
