GENERAL ORGANIZATIONAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS 2.1 Statement of Safety Policy
.1.
Safety Policy
- It is the policy of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to provide a safe and healthy environment for its students, faculty, staff and visitors. I believe that the elimination of accidents _ that injure personnel and result in losses of property and equipment is' everyone's responsibility. - Each person using the equipment and facilities of the Institute is expected to follow'the procedures outlined in this manual, to supplement these procedures when necesssary, to report all accidents promptly, and to bring' to the attention of supervisors and faculty members any unsafe conditions or practices.
It is only through the dedicated efforts of everyone that accidents and injuries can be prevented and a safe healthy environment created for all to enjoy.
2.
Statement of ALARA**
The Radiation dose received by any person from external or internal exposure to ionizing radiation in a radiation installation (a controlled area in which radioactive material or machines generating.
ionizing radiation or both are used) must be held to the lowest possible value consistant with effective ~ use of the installation and must never exceed the legally maximum permissible value. Every effort should be made to avoid contamination of work areas, and, in any case, release of airborne or waterborne radioactivity must never

~
'(This function is inherent in the Radiation and Nuclear Safety
' Committee). -Rensselaer has'not established-an ALARA Committee.
Although the Policy-Statement in Section 2.0 addresses-ALARA,.and is the ' basis for our program, the program at.Rensselaer'does'not involve i -
I radiation exposures that would dictate a large effort.' However, Rensselaer is committed to the KLARA concept and strives l to maintain both radiation exposure to people and the generation of radioactive wastes-to a minimum.
3.2 Technical Requirements 1
3.2.1 Access Control 1.
Controlled areas Areas at RPI-are controlled radation areas when:
1 (a) Storage or Use areas are for special nuclear materials (b) Loose contamination levels exceeding :1000 dpa/100 cm2 beta-gamma or 100 dpa/100 cm2 alpha (c) Radiation. levels exceed 2.5 mrem / hour.
4 (d) Airborne radioactive contamination exceeds 25% of MPC 2.
Personnel Monitoring Personnel monitoring is the process by-which an individual is f
j monitored to determine the radiation exposure he.or she i
l receives. This is accomplished.by the wearing of devices
