Do you allow the use of civilian clothing into your radiological controlled areas? If you could supply reasons why you do or don't I would appreciate it.
Do you allow modesty garments to be worn into contaminated areas without protective coveralls? For instance if the levels of contamination in an area are low - would you still require full dress out - or would modesty garments with booties and gloves suffice.
Do you allow civilian clothing to be worn under contamination protective coveralls? Now by civilian clothing I don't mean a T-shirt - I mean normal street clothing. Some utilities allow street clothing to be worn into there controlled areas - and I am trying to find out how they apply this policy.
currently on a signment at a private cleanup site my answers are;
yes, civies can be worn beneath anti-c clothing as neither the client nor the companies provide clothing to be worn in excess of prescribed anti-c garb.
we allow civilian clothing to be worn in addition to prescribed anti-c garb. if the conditions and work load are compatible with booties and gloves with flannel shirts and blue jeans, so be it. if anti-c are coveralls, hood, shoe covers, glove liners and rubber gloves then the worker wears the appropriate undergarments. if a worker wants to wear scrubs instead of clothing, that is his choice, dress out facilities are limited as they must be incorporated into the general containment of an area as our work space is in the middle of the site. the radcon philosophy at this site is of an engineering approach first, prophylactic second. our personnel contamination incident rate is extremely low and is exit monitored via frisk and portal monitor follow up.
