2 For Your Safety
2.1 General Safety
Make sure you read and understand all the instructions and safety guidelines in
the Installation and Operation Guide before operating the source holder. The
instructions in this guide are written for qualified and trained personnel.
Your equipment requires strict observance of standard regulations and
guidelines. You must take note of the safety instructions in these operating
instructions. In addition, you must adhere to the country-specific installation
standards and all prevailing safety regulations and accident prevention rules.
2.2 Radiation Safety
The radiation safety information is included as a service to you and serves as a
guide only in the most general terms. Regulatory agencies throughout the world
have different requirements, regulations, and restrictions with respect to the use of
radiometric instrumentation. You are responsible for familiarizing yourself with your
national and local regulations. These regulations are enforced by agencies such as:
• U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) or the Agreement State
• Atomic Energy Control Board (Canada)
• International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
Your regulatory agency may limit or require certain activities including:
• Installation
• Maintenance
• Relocation
• Testing
• De-commissioning
Field Service Engineers have the proper licenses required to install and
commission radiometric sources and can instruct you how to operate the source
holder correctly and safely.
Refer to the Radiation Safety Manual for more detailed safety
information and instructions.
If it is necessary to enter the vessel on which the gauge is used, you
must follow proper lock-out procedures. See the Radiation Safety
Manual for specific procedures and other safety responsibilities.
