Hi Nanette,

Call Landauer, Inc.  1-800-323-8830.

You will want an X-ray film badge; probably should change them out on a 
monthly basis.  Landauer will be able to help you select the correct 
badge type for your office.

Cost will probably be between $ 5-10 per badge.  They are NVLAP 
certified, which your state regulators probably require.

There are several other vendors.  I suggest Landauer because they 
handle a number of small scale accounts and are a recognized leader in 
the dosimetry field.
