A few questions regarding your dosimeter worn:

1. What type of a TLD are you processing? What are the various 
     phosphors used in the TLD?
2. You state that the backup elements did not indicate an exposure.  
    The question is, what elements did you actually process?
3. Which of the phosphors, or was it just ONE element that displayed 
     a high response?
4. What kinds of chemicals did the wearer work with? Hydrogen Sulfide 
     gas can provide high element response?
5. Did the wearer use any powder, as in talc? This too can cause high 
    readings. As does any oils, or grease, especially when handled by 
    the waerer, or, the processor.

Just a few other possibilities.
