Monitoring personnel

Personnel monitoring is required when an occupational worker is likely to receive an excess of 10% of the annual dose limit from radiation sources and for individuals entering high or very high radiation areas. Monitoring is accomplished by using film badges or thermoluminiscent dosimeters (TLD). 

The TLD consists of inorganic crystals of lithium fluoride (LiF) or manganese-activated calcium fluoride (CaF2 Mn) held in holders and is commonly used for finger exposures. TLDs exposed to radiations emit light when heated at 300-400° C and the amount of light emitted is proportional to

Another effect of noise on tasks involving monitoring and interpretation of a large number of information sources is the "narrowing of the span of attention." In a noisy environment, personnel monitoring the control panel would tend to concentrate on the most obvious aspects of the situation which seem to be familiar to them and fail to incorporate any novel features of the... 

Is the patient hemodynamically stable If not, admit to the intensive care unit for ongoing treatment and monitoring. A PA catheter (or CVP catheter) should be inserted by trained medical personnel. Monitor PAOP to a goal pressure of 14 to 18 mm Hg and minimum cardiac index of 2.2 L/minute per square meter (alternatively CVP 8 to 15 cm H20). 

A control panel receives information from the sensors and sends it to an appropriate location, such as to a central operations station or to a twenty-four-hour monitoring facility. Once the alarm signal is received at the central monitoring location, personnel monitoring for alarms can respond (such as by sending security teams to investigate or by dispatching the fire department). 

Review environmental monitoring data including personnel monitoring data and training records. Alert and action level results will also be documented per (provide SOP number).

Personnel monitoring was performed three times a day which personnel worked in processing rooms and cleanrooms has been monitored according to SOP. The results of personnel monitoring were reviewed for the hnger-prints and garments and found satisfactory during run 1, run 2, and run 3. 

All documents of batch numbers 001, 002, and 003 (process simulation of 24-hour duration) of media-fill study 1, study 2, and study 3 for aseptically filled A-ml vials were reviewed and found to meet the media-fill qualification requirements per current USP monograph and ISO 13408-1 1998 (E), including process simulation, environmental and personnel monitoring results. 

A number of specialty companies have and are continuing to develop adsorbents to collect organic molecules from air samples. Industrial chemicals resulting, from syntheses or used in production processes, pesticides and emissions from exhaust towers are monitored routinely with commercially available adsorbents. Personnel monitoring can be accomplished without a pump using a system composed of a porous membrane through which air diffuses and compounds of interest are collected by an adsorbent. 

For the purposes of more clearly differentiating between the laboratory investigation phase and a subsequent formal investigation conducted outside the laboratory, the laboratory investigation will be referred to as phase I, while the formal quality assurance-coordinated investigation will be referred to as phase II. For the purposes of phase I v. phase II, there is a definite difference, in that QC personnel handles the laboratory functions, while quality assurance personnel monitors and coordinates the overall investigative process.

Calibration checks also serve to minimize nuisance alarms and false trips of postrelease mitigation systems. This ensures that the personnel monitoring the system will have confidence in it and will respond aggressively when an alarm is received. If there are many nuisance alarms or false trips of postrelease mitigation systems, it is highly likely that an alarm will be ignored and the system turned off, or the response time will be slow because someone will go to the location to determine whether there is really... 

Table 9-2 also presents data from occupational and epidemiologic studies that indicate that the respiratory system is the primary target for sulfur dioxide. There was variability in the study findings that probably resulted from a lack of adequate analytical measurements (use of area sampling rather than personnel monitoring) the multiplicity of confounding, concurrent exposures to other chemicals and participates and the study indices investigated. However, some reasonable correlations between effects reported and exposure bounds can be determined.

In vitro uranium analyses are routinely performed in support of a personnel monitoring program, or in cases where the size of an operation does not justify the cost of whole body counter facilities. These analyses are usually done on urine samples, but other types of body materials may also be used (e.g., feces or blood). Urinalysis is effective for analysis of transportable or soluble uranium. A fraction of insoluble uranium also appears in the urine (DOE 1988).

We have been impressed with the favorable radiation safety aspects of the GO-LPO iodination technique. Since we have been using this technique, personnel monitoring for radiation contamination both by bioassay (thyroid counts) and by dosimeter readings have not been above background (NAB).
