At Sequoyah we have safety harnesses of two different colors available for use in our RCA, one for contaminated areas and the other for use in the clean areas. We survey the safety harness after every use by taking a smear and monitoring in our article monitors, followed by frisking if we receive an alarm. The alarm set points we use for contaminated area safety harnesses is 10K dpm, and clean area is 1K dpm.
1. We would like to know if at your site if you survey your safety harnesses after every use? 2. Is it different if used in clean versus contaminated areas? 3. If you don't survey the harnesses after every use, what frequency or reason would require a survey? 4. What instruments do you use to survey your safety harnesses? 5. For the safety harnesses used in contaminated areas, how often do you smear the harnesses? 6. Are your contaminated safety harnesses staged in contaminated areas for use in outages? Non-outages? Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my questions and for providing answers. Jim Rolph RP Technical Support Superintendent (423) 843-8115 - Work (423) 593-0247 - Cell
