PERSONNEL MONITORING DEVICES
Persons whose work involves the use of radioactive material or radiation machines or who may receive a radiation dose in excess of ten percent of the regulatory dose limit must obtain a dosimeter badge from the Radiation Safety Office to be worn between the waist and shoulders while such work is in progress. Persons who risk exposure to their hands from sources of high energy beta or gamma emitting radionuclides or from radiation machines will also be issued a ring badge.
In order to obtain a radiation monitoring device each radiation worker must complete the Application for a Personnel Monitoring Device (see S90.65.6 ). If he or she has been previously monitored at a different radiation site then a Radiation Exposure History Release Form (see S90.65.7 ) must also be submitted. Finally, all female radiation workers must read at least the first four pages of the Prenatal Radiation Exposure pamphlet (see S90.75 ) and include a signed Prenatal Radiation Exposure Statement to complete the application process ( see S90.75.16 ).
Each authorized user is responsible for ensuring proper wearing of dosimetry and timely exchange of radiation badges at the end of each month. Personal monitoring devices are processed monthly and must be received at the RSO by the 10th of each month from radiation workers on the Pullman campus and the 15th of each month by radiation workers at the various outerlying sites.
