Optimization and ALARA [as low as reasonably achievable] considerations in the use of respiratory protection in radiation areas
Description
This document described factors to be considered in the use of respiratory protection in areas of limited radiation hazard. The frequency cited standard of ''as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) was discussed and various interpretations and examples presented. A list of variables to consider before issuing a respirator to a worker was reviewed and suggested as a basis for such decisions. 4 refs
