Who should be notified when a RAD worker is approaching their exposure limit?

When a radiological worker is approaching their exposure limit, it is crucial to notify supervision. Supervisors are responsible for overseeing the safety and compliance of workers under their guidance. They have the authority to assess the situation, implement corrective measures, and ensure that protocols are followed to maintain safety standards and compliance with regulatory limits.

By notifying supervision, they can take appropriate actions such as re-evaluating work assignments, reorganizing tasks, or providing additional training to help manage exposure levels effectively. This response helps to protect the health and safety of the worker and ensure that the facility adheres to established radiation safety practices.

Other roles, like security or industrial safety personnel, may not have the direct responsibility or protocol in managing exposure limits specifically related to radiation. The medical aid station would be relevant in the case of a health incident rather than preemptive exposure limit monitoring. Thus, supervision plays a pivotal role in maintaining safety and regulatory compliance in radiological environments.
