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 a male or female application packet to obtain a personnel monitoring device.
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 outlying sites.
In order to receive a personal dosimeter, applicants must fill out all of the required forms and complete Radiation Safety Office training. RSO training courses are listed here: http://www.rso.wsu.edu/training/training.html
