AW: AW: [ RadSafe ] News article from Belgium: Worker Critical after highradiation dose

Mike: (addendum)

I have inspected another official source (http://www.fanc.fgov.be/fr/communiques_2006-04-05_fleurus.htm) which clearly mentions that personnel dosimeters of Stérigenics operating staff have been checked with the result that none of them indicated unusual exposures.

So presumably he too was supposed to wear it also on that Saturday when he interrupted his spare time to assist the on site staff. As far as the accident has been elucidated till now that would not have made a big difference.

Rainer.

Rainer

Was the employee required to have a dose meter?
