Badges, employee

Beeause the diisoeyanate is used in exeess, there is usually free monomer present. Isoeyanates are hazardous materials particularly upon inhalation and skin contact. Chronic exposure ean lead to sensitization. The adhesives must therefore be used with proper ventilation and should not come in eontact with the skin in the unreaeted state. Vapor monitoring badges for employees and periodie real time vapor monitoring around process equipment is reeommended. 

Security systems are available featuring magnetic badges, personnel identification numbers, passphrases, or even digital or retinal scanners that unlock those specific areas to which the individual employee has been granted access. Since these systems are computer controlled, the access authorization for any individual can be conveniently and quickly adjusted as circumstances warrant. Logging of traffic in the various areas can be accomplished automatically. It should be understood that computerized systems are susceptible to intrusion and may therefore lack the positive control of a well organized and monitored system of secure keys or combinations. 

Employees working in the area where EB equipment is operating must be monitored for exposure to ionizing (mainly x-ray) radiation with film badges that detect and quantify any exposure to stray radiation. Employers must train workers thoroughly in the operation of the equipment and proper safety and hygiene, and must keep records of exposure of their personnel to ionizing radiation. 

Each employee should have some means of identification, i.e., badge, colored hat, etc. 

Database Security. At the level of the EDMS application, access is governed by unique user ID and password combinations. Here, database security serves as the guard at the door who requests to see your badge before allowing entry. The system administrator maintains an updated register of valid IDs and passwords for gaining access to the system linked, typically, to the current list of employees maintained by human resources. ... 

Require employees to display identification cards or badges. 

Instituting a system of employee and contractor photo ID badges and train employees to challenge persons not wearing the badges... 

Consider implementing a method for secmity identification (identification cards, badges, etc.). The identification should include the employee s name, company name, employee s picture, and a phone number where the employee s identification can be confirmed. Also consider establishing a system to control security identification of employees leaving the company. 

Another security issue that has been discussed during recent NRC inspections has been the question of ensuring that only authorized persons have reason to be in the facilities where radioactive materials are in use. Most radioisotope labs do not use radioactive materials in such quantities that they meet the requirements for restricted areas under 10 CFR Part 20. Usually when personnel are at work, the laboratory doors are not locked. It is not incorporated in the standards, but it has been made clear that it would be desirable for holders of NRC hcenses to challenge the presence of any person not explicitly known to the employees as being in the area appropriately. In industry, most employees in a facility wear badges identifying them, but in academic institutions where most scientists also teach, such a policy would make it difficult for them to maintain free access to them by their students. NRC inspections are almost always unannounced, so all security and compliance measures must be current and ready to withstand an inspection at any time. 

Each employee classified as a radiation worker should be assigned a film badge to record lifetime occupational exposure. This badge must be worn at all times in a controlled radiation areas or near an operating x-ray source while performing work. 

Survey means an evaluation of the radiation hazards incident to the prodnction, nse, release, disposal, or presence of radioactive materials or other sources of radiation nnder a specific set of conditions. When appropriate, such evaluation includes a physical survey of the location of materials and equipment and measurements of levels of radiation or concentrations of radioactive material present. Every employer shall supply appropriate personnel monitoring equipment, snch as film badges, pocket chambers, pocket dosimeters, or film rings, and should ensure the use of such equipment by exposed employees. Personnel monitoring equipment means devices designed to be worn or carried by an individual for the purpose of measuring the dose received. 

The movements of jobsite employees and visitors can be controlled or monitored through using ID/visitor badges, electronic keycard doors, security posts, and surveillance cameras. 

A pass system may be initiated to check all entrants to the premises. Visitors can be screened by checking identification cards or prearranged passes. Employees may also be required to carry identification cards or to wear badges. Electronic badges or biometric identification points are used to monitor movement inside the premises and to limit access to certain locations. 

Use identification badges when employees wiU not know each other by sight. 

Are wcMfrers using the appropriate heeuing protection Once the appropriate earplugs are determined for an employee, a sticker on a hard hat, a badge or some other maiker may be used to identify whieh earplug is the right one (or ones) for that worker. 

Outline what is to be reported date and time the incident occurred location description of the incident identification data for employees injured (name, badge number, regular occupation, length of employment, length of time on the job involved) estimated potential injury, property damage, or environmental damage immediate actions taken further short-term actions to be taken reports made or to be made to OSHA, EPA, insurance carriers actions taken to assemble an investigation team. 

Personal radiation exposure can be measured using a film badge, which is worn by the employee over a fixed time interval. The badge contains a photographic film which, after the time interval, is developed and an estimate of radiation exposure is made. A similar device, known as a radiation dose meter or detector, can be positioned on a shelf in the workplace for three months, so that a mean value of radiation levels may be measured. Instantaneous radiation values can be obtained from portable hand-held instruments, known as geiger counters, which continuously sample the air for radiation levels. Similar devices are available to measure radon levels. 

A comparison of these measuring results with the total-body dose rate limits from Annex X, Table XI, column 2 of the Radiation Protection Act shows that the measured values fall by several decimal exponents below the limits per person laid down in there. This statement is also valid for the partial-body doses that the employees received during inserting the screws into the still open screw holes. Here, monitoring was effected by means of finger badge dosimeters.
