2.5 MONITORING OF PERSONNEL
Monitoring of personnel to determine the amount of radiation to which they have been exposed provides a
valuable cross check to determine whether or not safety measures are adequate. It may reveal inadequate or
improper radiation protection practices and potentially serious radiation exposure situations.
The most effective method to determine whether or not the existing protective measures are adequate is the
use of instruments to measure the exposure. These measurements should be taken at all locations where
the operator or any portion of the body may be exposed. Exposure must never exceed the accepted tolerable
dose.
Afrequentlyusedbutlessaccuratemethodtodeterminetheamountofexposureistheplacementoflmat
strategiclocations.Afteraspeciedperiodoftime,developthelmtodeterminetheamountofradiation.
A common method to determine whether personnel have been exposed to excessive radiation is the use of
personalradiationdosimeters.TheseconsistofX-raysensitivelmorthermoluminescentmaterialenclosed
within a holder that may be worn on the body. Even though this device only measures the radiation that
reaches the area of the body on which they are worn, they do provide a reasonable indication of the amount
of radiation received.
2.6 PROTECTION AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARDS
