Re: H-3 Exit Signs

[Scott Crail <crail@ENGR.ORST.EDU>]

Back when I was an undergrad(several years now), I assisted the rad safety 
department at Cal Poly Pomona install the H3 exit signs there.  Aside 
from the initial wipe they seemed fine.  I think I remember that each 
letter is a seperate sealed container, so it would take an effort to get 
them all.  The risk they pose is mainly internal, so unless that 
overzealous hardhat type suddenly got thirsty, even a broken one shouldnt be too bad.  Plus compare them to the risks 
associated with with battery operated (acid spills) or generator operated 
(fires, ect) before you decide.  If you want to talk to someone who has 
been dealing with them for a while call Dave Patterson over at Cal Poly's 
Environmental Health Dept.
