Comensurate with the significance ot' the objective (e.g. life saving action, property recovery etc.), the planned dose to rescue or recovery personnel shall be held to the lowest practicable level that the emergency permits. In any event the planned dose will be below the limits given in Section E above.
Plan all rescue or immediate recovery operations prior to c.

d.
Conduct all work as quickly as possible, consistent with safety.
The company Medical Director shall be promptly notified of any e.
internal or external doses which exceed regulatory limits.
f.
Personnel doses resulting from the emergency situation shall be estimated and recorded.
2.
Rescue when possible, respiratory protection and protective clothing i
a.
should be worn to reduce internal and external contamination to levels comparable to those encountered uncer normal i
operating conditions.
Perform rescue cperations censistent with first aid practices b.
and the exposure rates encountered.
3.
Recovery When possible, respiratory protection 'and protective clothing 1
a.
shall be worn to control and minimize internal and external contamination.
b.
When practicable, all work performed by recovery personnel in controlled areas shculd be authorized by appropriate supervisors.
Detail procecures for n'andling long term recovery cperations c.
