You've got me on this one.  The head is part of the "whole body."  Unless the lead

apron covered the worker's head, it would seem  appropriate to wear the dosimeter

outside of the apron.  Also, how did you measure lens dose?



The opinions expressed are strictly mine.

It's not about  dose, it's about trust.
