Registration

You must also provide the name and birth date of each wearer so that a unique wearer identification number can be allocated. The wearer identification is used in the accumulation of a dose history for each person. (If monitoring is required for extra people at a later date, this can be arranged on request.)

Guidance Notes

Detailed instructions for the use of the service will be supplied to you when you register. The following provides some general advice:

1. In some situations, where exposure to radiation occurs infrequently and regular monitoring is unnecessary, monitors may be issued on request – contact us to discuss this further.
2. In the case of TLD badges [link to Monitor types], centres are issued with holders at commencement of the service and are retained there; only the TLD cards are returned at the end of each wearing period.
3. In order to assess the doses received by the monitors, allowance must be made for background radiation and environmental effects. Extra control monitors are always supplied with each issue of monitors to measure these effects.
4. Only one control monitor is normally issued with each batch of monitors of the one type. However, in some large centres, where background radiation levels are higher than normal, and vary from one area to another within the centre, extra controls are supplied. This applies particularly to some of the centres issued with the special TLD badge [link to Monitor types]. You should discuss the need for extra controls when you register.
