Per policy and procedures, the previous 3 wear periods would be averaged and a dose assigned for the time period specified by the missing badge. The assigned dose should be recorded and reported to the Radiation Safety Committee. This procedure normally is performed by the Lead Nuclear Medicine Technologist, as they are normally responsible for film badge reporting.

What is the purpose of wearing a film badge when working with ionizing radiation sources?

Film badges are worn by workers to monitor their exposure to ionizing radiation sources. The badge contains film strips that darken when exposed to radiation, providing a way to measure and track radiation exposure over time. This helps ensure that radiation doses stay within safe limits and protect workers' health.

Is a dosimeter a radiation badge that contains a sensitized film?

A dosimeter based on sensitized film is one kind of radiation dosimeter, but there are other different kinds, and film badges are becoming less common. One widely known dosimeter is the direct read "pen style" electroscope dosimeter. Another "pen style" dosimeter is a miniature ionization chamber, but like the film badge dosimeter requires special equipment to read it later in a lab. Probably the most commonly used type of dosimeter outside of emergency response is the TLD, or thermoluminescent dosimeter.


How does a film badge dosimeter work?

Every dosimeter has a serial number. An organization's Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) or similar person assigns dosimeters to staff members who come in contact with radiation. The workers wear the dosimeters during the course of their workday. They turn them in at the end of a scheduled period, such as at the end of the month, and receive new badges to use. The RSO sends the badges to a lab for processing and receives a report listing radiation exposure amounts and badge numbers. If a person has received an excessive amount of radiation during a work period, he may be assigned temporarily to nonhazardous duties and given a medical checkup.


Does The film badge keep radiation workers safe from radiation?

Not directly, but it allows them to monitor how much dose of radiation they have received over a period of time, so they can look at it and check they haven't received too much dosage.
