     There are a number of commercial film badge vendors the largest of 
     them are Landauer in Chicago, ICN in California and Siemens 
     Gammasonics in Chicago.  The basic requirements for the selection of a 
     TLD processor is that they be NAVLAP accredited.  If you need more 
     info email me.

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.
