Elements and Performance Criteria
- Prepare for assigned monitoring tasks
- Apply radiation management plans concerning hazards, monitoring equipment and safe working rules.
- Liaise with relevant site personnel to arrange access and confirm the nature and likely duration of assigned monitoring tasks.
- Perform and record pre-use checks of radiation instruments and tag or replace faulty items as necessary.
- Check that personal protective equipment (PPE) and other task-related equipment is fit for purpose.
- Stow all radiation instruments and monitoring equipment to ensure safe transport to the site and within the site.
- Obtain reliable monitoring data or samples
- Apply safe working rules to minimise personal ionising radiation exposure.
- Conduct regular instrument checks and minor maintenance if required.
- Conduct repeat measurements for quality control purposes and identify and report atypical equipment response.
- Collect and label environmental samples using specified equipment and procedures to preserve their integrity.
- Record atypical radiation conditions.
- Seek advice to deal with any situation beyond own technical competence.
- Complete assigned monitoring tasks
- Check for contamination of equipment.
- Re-stow all radiation instruments and monitoring equipment to ensure safe transport from the site and within the site.
- Record use of PPE and radiation instruments in accordance with radiation management plans.
- Check condition of PPE, radiation instruments and monitoring equipment before storing.
- Store any samples to preserve their integrity, security and traceability in accordance with sampling procedures.
- Manage waste.
- Analyse monitoring data and report results
- Record results.
- Check that recorded outcomes are consistent with expectations.
- Compare results with relevant radiation limits and identify and record any significant differences or atypical results.
- Identify potential or actual radiation protection issues revealed by the site monitoring tasks.
- Identify potential improvements that could be made to monitoring at site.
- Maintain required records that are complete, accurate, legible and secure.
- Provide site and personal radiation data to authorised personnel.
- Respond to potential or actual radiation incidents
