RE: E-mailing dose records

["William G. Nabor" <wgnabor@uci.edu>]

Gosh!  I never meant to imply that the RSO should not be informed of an
individual's exposure when I said that the individual's boss should not
automatically be informed of a trivial exposure.  It's just that I've never
worked anyplace where the RSO was the boss.  What I want is a method of
informing an individual of any exposure without having to also inform anyone
who does not have a right to know (e.g., without having to post it on the
wall)  The individual's supervisor (i.e., the "boss") does not *have* to be
informed unless the RSO deems it necessary.
