Title | Agreement State Report - Radiography Camera Not Properly Secured |
Event Description | The following information was received by facsimile:
This is a report of a transportation incident where an Industrial Radiography Camera was not properly secured. The RSO stated that two radiographers, one an instructor, conducted a radiography job in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. On January 4, 2012, while returning to the Baton Rouge, LA office, they decided to meet with another radiographer who is an instructor on the radioactive materials license for Mistras and one of the other radiographer's father. The father offered to take the radiography camera to the office in Baton Rouge, LA. The instructor from the radiography job in Bay St. Louis agreed, but did not realize that the father did not have his radiography truck. The father put the camera in the trunk of his personal vehicle unsecured and unbraced. After noticing that the father and son did not have some of the required paperwork, the instructor pursued them. Approximately 2 miles down the road, the father and son in the same vehicle were pulled over for speeding. After they were pulled over, the son, who was driving, was suspected of intoxication and tested. The RSO received a call from the father regarding the impending arrest of the son for DUI at [2130 CST]. The son was arrested for DUI and the instructor from the radiography job secured the radiography camera. The father was arrested for outstanding warrants. Both the father and son were suspected of being under the influence, but the father refused to be tested by law enforcement. The RSO arrived to the site at [2200 CST]. The camera was placed in the Mistras storage vault around [0030 CST on January 5, 2012]. Mistras is conducting an internal investigation. Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality is investigating. So far, the son's employment has been terminated. The father's Trustworthy and Reliability status has been suspended. All radiographers will be drug tested. Additional information will be forthcoming. Louisiana Incident Number: LA120001 |
