Would you necessarily need to have an RWP?  Best practice would be to have
an RWP in place but there are no longer any "shall" statements that I have
been able to find that require the use of an RWP for entry into a
radiological area.  As long as you can demonstrate some "equivalency"
wouldn't that be enough?  As far as tracking where the dose was picked up,
if there is only one RWP for all of the various areas of a site, you would
get the same information by just subtracting job specific dose from the
total dose.

It seems you need a basic RWP for general entry into areas that you 
describe above. Perhaps a general RWP for specific work groups, or 
just 1 for all groups. You need this to verify that those entering on 
the RWP understand what they must do, if anything, and, to ensure you 
that they understand that they are not to do any hands on work, 
unless they work a different RWP.
