Design the permit and control regime appropriate to the hazards in personal radiation monitoring.
Managing Personal Radiation Monitoring Programmes for Workers
A structured, applied course in personal radiation monitoring — designed to be used the week you return.
Course Overview
Almost every serious incident involving personal radiation monitoring was preceded by a signal somebody noticed and nobody escalated. Safety performance on the practice within occupational health and safety degrades quietly during periods when nothing goes wrong. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting the occupational health and safety capability, ready to be adapted internally. The content is relevant to those who own personal radiation monitoring and to those who are held accountable for its results. The course gives participants a defensible structure for this aspect of occupational health and safety and the judgement to adapt it. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in the wider occupational health and safety agenda rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. The most reliable predictor of sound personal radiation monitoring is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. Most organisations already have a policy on this part of occupational health and safety; far fewer can show it working. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the practice within occupational health and safety survives a hostile question.

Personal radiation monitoring: competence, authorisation and supervision
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Writing a procedure for personal radiation monitoring people can follow at 3 a.m.
- Review whether personal radiation monitoring is aligned with the objectives of the work site.
- Rank the weaknesses in personal radiation monitoring by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
- Assess long-term health exposure created by personal radiation monitoring and arrange surveillance.
- Apply management of change to any modification affecting personal radiation monitoring.
Session 2Keeping personal radiation monitoring alive after the initial push
- Verify contractor competence and method statements for personal radiation monitoring.
- Close out corrective actions on personal radiation monitoring with a named owner and date.
- Set leading indicators for personal radiation monitoring that predict rather than count.
- Make the reporting route for hazards in personal radiation monitoring short and non-punitive.
Personal radiation monitoring: contractors and shared workplaces
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Rescue arrangements for personal radiation monitoring that have been rehearsed
- Identify where judgement in personal radiation monitoring is legitimate and where it is not.
- Confirm that controls on personal radiation monitoring sit as high up the hierarchy as reasonably practicable.
- Confirm the training cycle sustaining competence in personal radiation monitoring is current.
- Confirm isolation and lockout arrangements for personal radiation monitoring are proven before work starts.
Session 2What has to be agreed before work on personal radiation monitoring starts
- Agree what will be standardised in personal radiation monitoring and what will not.
- Collect evidence on the present handling of personal radiation monitoring before proposing changes.
- Check the procedure for personal radiation monitoring against how the work is actually done.
- Identify the hazards in personal radiation monitoring and rank them by consequence, not by frequency.
Personal radiation monitoring: culture, human factors and why controls fail
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Holding contractors on personal radiation monitoring to your own standard
- Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of personal radiation monitoring current.
- Test that protective equipment specified for personal radiation monitoring fits and is maintained.

- Check that personal radiation monitoring still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
Session 2Why a good control on personal radiation monitoring stops being used

Session 2Reviewing personal radiation monitoring when nothing has gone wrong
- Verify six months later that changes to personal radiation monitoring have held.
- Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to personal radiation monitoring.
- Close out actions on personal radiation monitoring rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
- Rehearse the emergency and rescue plan for personal radiation monitoring, do not just publish it.
