Personal Protective Measures
Sometimes engineering controls cannot eliminate contamination. Personnel protective
measures, such as protective clothing and respiratory equipment, will be used at this point.
a.
Protective clothing
1)
Protective clothing is required for entering areas containing contamination and
airborne radioactivity levels above specified limits to prevent personnel
contamination.
2)
The amount and type of protective clothing required is dependent on work area
radiological conditions and nature of the job.
3)
Personal effects such as watches, rings, jewelry, etc., should not be worn.
4)
Full protective clothing generally consists of:
a)
Coveralls.
b)
Cotton liners.
c)
Rubber gloves.
d)
Shoe covers.
e)
Rubber overshoes.
f)
Hood.
NOTE: Cotton glove liners may be worn inside rubber gloves for comfort, but should
not be worn alone or considered as a layer of protection against contamination.
5)
Proper use of protective clothing
a)
Inspect protective clothing for rips, tears, or holes prior to use. If you find
damaged protective clothing, discard properly.
b)
Supplemental and multiple dosimeters should be worn as prescribed by the
Radiological Control Organization.
c)
After donning protective clothing, proceed directly from the dress-out area
to the work area.
d)
Avoid getting coveralls wet. Wet coveralls provide a means for
contamination to reach the skin/clothing.
e)
Contact Radiological Control personnel if clothing becomes ripped, wet, or
otherwise compromised.
