These conditions, known as dendritics, may become hazards and could result in an accident or occupational disease. Continuous safety sampling methodology performs a random sampling for the occurrence of these dendritics. The collected data are then used to generate a control chart. Based on the pattern of the control chart, a system under control is not disturbed whereas a system out of control is investigated for potential conditions becoming hazardous. Appropriate steps are then taken to eliminate or control these conditions to maintain a desired safe system.

The programme involves around 600 samples and 800 measurements per year and is conducted by the Institute for Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety (INPS) which has established the methodology for the sampling and measurements and has the capacity to ensure the continuity indispensable for this type of measurement.
