| Title | Agreement State Report - Whole Body Monitor Exceeded the Annual Occupational Exposure Limit |
| Event Description | The following was received via email from the State Of Louisiana:
The RSO [Radiation Safety Officer] was notified by Landauer that an individual's August 1-31, 2017, personal whole body monitor exceeded the annual occupational exposure limit. MG [Mistras Group, Inc.] contacted the Radiography Instructor (RI) and conducted an internal investigation with the radiation safety personnel and the RI that concluded September 20, 2017. It concluded with the exposures were incremental over the annual monitoring period and there was no evidence the whole-body badge had received the exposures and the RI had not received the exposures to his monitor. At this time MG is not pursuing this issue further to reduce the exposure to the whole-body monitor. The RI was issued safety equipment that was not under the RI's constant control or observation at all times. The RI notified the Department, LDEQ [Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality], on October, 19, 2017, [at approximately] 1105 [CDT]. LDEQ was notified due to the fact the RI was not employable to perform radiography work in his field due to the radiation exposure levels. This was a complaint from a Radiography Instructor (RI) whose personal whole-body badge exposure reading levels exceeded the 5,000 mRem/5 Rem occupational annual limit. The RI called in a complaint because he was no-longer employed by MG and with the excessive exposure he was not employable to work in a radiation restricted area. A LDEQ investigator took the call from the RI. The excessive exposure reported by Landauer to MG for the August 2017 monitoring period was 5,440 mRem Dose Equivalent. MG reported the excessive exposure during a phone call during the LDEQ preliminary investigation. The MG went on to explain that the RI was still in possession of his September 2017 personal whole body monitor. Event Report ID: LA-170016 |
