Re[2]: Personnel Dosimetry Records

[sandy_perle@email.fpl.com]

     The only requirement is that the worker be notified of his/her 
     exposure on an annual basis. It makes sense to inform them on a 
     frequent basis, i.e., when they have official dose of records. Our 
     workers enter and exit via a real-time access control system and know 
     their current exposure (includes dose of record and estimated dose for 
     the current badging period) every time they either enter or exit.
     
     It is also an issue of cost.. Cheaper to post, provide a copy to 
     supervisors .. than to issue a report to each worker. In our case, 
     that's over 3,000 workers average per month and 6,000 during outages.
     
     No requirement to do any of this,, except for the annual report.  Just 
     makes good sense to keep worker informed.. WE post out reports .. and 
     have not had any complaints...

Question:  Why post them at all?  The employee must be informed of his/her
exposure, but what regulation requires that such information be tacked up on
the wall?
