To my knowledge, we have not experienced this situation. At DCPP we use SAM-12s. Workers use them to monitor the contents of their pockets, gloves, work packages. During high throughput times a technician is typically assigned to "PCM watch" inside the RCA. Any equipment or other items must be monitored by RP. Workers are trained to look for ready light before placing items in the SAM and to wait for the clean signal to open the door. RP tech responds to alarms.

We have had occasions where workers place material in the monitors, and do not push the start button, or place items in the SAM during a background count. While an attentive worker can observe fault messages, it appears the messages from the SAM-11 are less distinct than those produced by the SAM-9. Some workers have passed items through SAM-11s without an actual count. Does anyone else have similar experiences? How have you responded?
