This program includes the following: - Physical inventory, serial identification and gauge condition inspection
- Warning sign and manufacturers' label inspection
- Radiation survey at the surface, 12 inches and in the work area of all gauges
- Shutter checks on all gauges
- Leak testing of radioactive gauges, analysis and certificates
- Certified calibration of survey meters (G.M. and microR meters) as needed
- Emergency response to radiation incidents
- Worker Training and Continuing Education
In addition, a radiation safety record review and license audit will be performed periodically to ensure regulatory compliance is being maintained. The following items will be reviewed: Any NRC and State Health Department licenses and application; Source inventory records; Leak test records; Nuclear gauge receipt, installation and removal documents; Employee radiation safety training records; and Personnel exposure monitoring records.
| Visits can be scheduled quarterly or semi-annually. Our findings and recommendations will be summarized in a narrative report to the personnel you designate. We offer emergency response to radiation incidents 24-hours per day, 7 days per week and can usually respond within three hours. Each quarterly or semi-annual visit can include a radiation safety training session for your personnel and will be tailored to your facility and use of materials. SAHCI maintains back-up copies of all leak test and calibration records should replacement ever be necessary to complete your file.
