Monitoring Requirements

[William Lorenzen <LORENZEN_W@A1.TCH.Harvard.edu>]

          In Massachusetts the requirement for monitoring has this 
          requirement:
          
          120.226..
          "Each licensee shall monitor exposures from sources of radiation 
          at levels sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the 
          occupational dose limits of 105 CMR 120.200.  As a minimum
          
          (a)  Each licensee shall monitor occupational exposures to 
          radiation and shall supply and require the use of individual 
          monitoring devices by:
          
               (4)Individuals WORKING medical fluoroscopy equipment.
          
          
          So anyone who is "WORKING" such devices MUST BE monitored 
          regardless of the 10% criteria...
