Laboratories Returning Dosimetry

[Bob <caspar@aecom.yu.edu>]

Hi! This question is for radiation safety professional at medical research
centers and hospitals that use a large number of film badges. How
successful are you at getting research and hospital staff to return their
dosimetry in a timely manner? There are over 1000 researchers with
dosimetry here and only 70% of them return their badges. I find this number
rather high. We have implemented fees on unreturned badges, but the cost
does not seem to matter to them. What is the percentage of returned badges
at your institution and how do you twist their arms to comply?

You can email your response directly to caspar@aecom.yu.edu.

Thanx,
Bob
