Re: Monitoring of UN2910 Packages

[Robert Sarason <rlsarason@ucdavis.edu>]

	Tad, I really can't find anything that states you must swipe a package
upon receipt. But 49CFR 173.443a deals with the package as its offered for
transport and mentions ALARA. 173.421 describes UN2910 Excepted Packages.
So maybe we swipe the outside of the packages when we receive them to see
if ALARA has been met?? Just a thought.
Here at UC Davis we not only swipe the outside but, the primary vial as
well. We have been doing this for years and the campus seems to appreciate it.
