  • Page 42: Radiation Dosimetry

    Radiation Dosimetry Radiation dosimetry is worn to monitor radiation levels. It should be worn when required by your regulatory jurisdiction, company safety policy, or RSO. Typically several rounds of dosimetry are used, along with exposure time and use estimates to determine whether dosimetry should be discontinued. If no dosimetry is used, a written justification must be kept on file.
