RE: Recommendations for badge handling

DOE STD 1098-99 (Radiological Control) says:



8. DOE discourages the practice of taking thermoluminescent dosimeters

(TLDs) off-site.



This is not an easy issue, especially when workers are used to taking

their dosimetry home, and there are sites that allow it.  Problems

include: lost dosimeters, issuance of temporary dosimetry when the

official badge is left at home, and increased uncertainty with regard to

non-occupational dose from background etc.

Subject: Recommendations for badge handling





Can anyone help me with recommendations or regulations pertinent to 

proper handling of dose monitors?



Specifically, I am looking for something that says badges must/should 

be left at the facility and not taken home or elsewhere.



Thanks in advance for any help.
