A portable radiation monitoring device should be available on site at all times to monitor radiation levels in drill core and dust, including alpha activity.

Regular monitoring should be conducted and data recorded in a log.

Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) should be provided to ensure radioactive dust is not able to be ingested.

Employees potentially exposed to radiation should wear a personal radiation monitoring device (TLD). TLDs may be purchased from ARPANSA and then returned for analysis.

Any material identified as a radiation hazard must be clearly labelled and stored separately in a secure area.

Equipment should be cleaned and assessed prior to leaving site to ensure radioactive material is not being transported off site.

Dose calculation should be undertaken at the completion of the program with the results supplied to effected personnel and the Department.
