Once multiple dosimeter use<br \/>\nhas been deemed appropriate, this standard contains criteria<br \/>\napplicable to routine occupational activities on when and how to<br \/>\nuse them to monitor the body and extremities of individuals exposed<br \/>\nto external sources of ionizing radiation. Such conditions may be<br \/>\nencountered at medical, research, commercial, weapons disposition,<br \/>\nfuel processing, power reactors and other sites. In addition,<br \/>\nrecommendations for selecting dosimeter types, placement of<br \/>\ndosimeters on the body, interpretation of multiple dosimeter<br \/>\nresults, and recording of dose information are presented. A program<br \/>\nthat is compliant with this standard shall include the requirements<br \/>\nof the standard, but not necessarily its recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>This standard does not address the cases of internal deposition<br \/>\nof radioactive materials, external contamination of the body, or<br \/>\nworking conditions that do not permit job pre-planning. Sudden or<br \/>\nunexpected changes in the radiation environment as might occur<br \/>\nduring accidents are also beyond the scope of this standard. Fetal<br \/>\nmonitoring is not addressed because it represents a special case<br \/>\nnot necessarily related to nonuniform irradiation. (Fetal<br \/>\nmonitoring is for the purpose of estimating the dose to a separate<br \/>\nentity, the fetus, and demonstrating an appropriate rate of<br \/>\nequivalent dose accumulation for the period of gestation.
