| Title | Agreement State - Industrial Radiographer Overexposure |
| Event Description | The following was provided by the state via facsimile:
On August 19, 2008, Hi Tech Testing reported an overexposure to an industrial radiographer. On August 17, 2008, two industrial radiographers noticed that their pocket dosimeters were 'off scale'. Their film badges were sent to Landauer for emergency processing and it was determined that one of the radiographer's dose for August 2008 was 3.719 rem. Adding this to the year to date dose for this radiographer gave the radiographer a year to date dose of 5.776 rem for 2008. Hi Tech Testing investigated the incident and determined that the radiographers were not using a survey meter or performing a proper survey after each exposure. The following corrective action was taken for this incident: The radiographer that had the excessive exposure has had his employment with Hi Tech Testing terminated. Hi Tech Testing also had a mandatory company safety meeting concerning this incident. Louisiana report number - LA0800017 |
