The "visitor badge" is the official dose from the licensee. I 

wouldn't think that you're confusing the dose records. The fact is, 

the badged individual will receive an official Form 5 with the 

assigned dose. If the individual is wearing 2 badges, there is always 

the possibility that the doses will be accidentally combined. Worse 

yet, if there is a significant difference between the 2 doses, which 

one will be used? Won't the worker then have reason to question all 

dosimetry worn?
