Electron Microscope User Training

["Patrick J. McDermott" <mcdermot@REHS.rutgers.edu>]

Radsafers,

Rutgers University has developed a new training program aimed at 
users of machine sources of ionizing radiation.  >95% of the 
training material focuses on users of analytical X-ray equipment.  
Here in New Jersey, EM's are not exempt from the dosimetry and 
training requirements in the New Jersey Administrative Code.  The 
requirements are vague to say the least.    

My question: Does anyone out there (either in or out of NJ) require 
workers who only use EM's to attend formal radiation safety 
training of any kind? If yes, how detailed is the training?  If no, 
are/were there any regulatory hurdles to consider before you and/or 
your Rad. Safety Comm. made this decision?

Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards,
Patrick J. McDermott
