[ RadSafe ] lapel monitors for potential airborne alpha particulates

Radsafers

It has been suggested that D&D workers use lapel monitors for potential 
airborne alpha particulates IN ADDITION TO a continuous air sampler in the 
immediate vicinity of the D&D work.

My first thought is that the nuisance factor for the workers is going to 
be "anti-ALARA."

Can anybody provide some experience with the necessity, effectiveness, and 
"value added" by lapel monitors vs an air sampler in the immediate 
vicinity?

Thanx in advance  - -jmr
