6.1 The use and transportation of radiation sources shall be carried out by qualified
persons and kept under strict control in accordance with government regulations.

6.2 The operation must be carried out by, or accompanied and supervised by a
person (radiographer) who is validly licensed by the Authority to use a radioactive
isotope.

6.3 Prior to performing any radiation activities on site a method statement describing
detailed procedures and plannede consignee must be submitted to the
Contractor HSE Manager for approval.

6.4 Radiation work cannot commence until the RADIATION CHECKLIST has been
satisfactorily completed and the Contractor Site Manager has issued a valid
Radiation Hazardous Work Permit.

6.5 Each radiation source shall be registered at the security gate upon entry into site.
The following information shall be recorded in the register:

6.5.1 Name of the NDE firm.

6.5.2 Name and registration number of each Radiographer.

6.5.3 Type and strength of the radiation source (isotope) and registration
number of the container.

6.6 A zone immediately surrounding the radiographic isotope / source shall be


restricted, which is sufficiently large so as to protect personnel if they remain
outside the area boundaries. The distance of the radiation source to the cordon
must be calculated such that the level of radiation beyond the cordon does not
exceed the maximum dose rate of 0.75mR/hr.

6.7 Warning signs with the following wording “DANGER! RADIATION HAZARD” both
in Local Official Language(s) and English. And, the international symbol for
radiation shall be posted so as to be visible from all approaches to the barricaded

/ taped area. Approved radiation warning signs (trefoil), barriers and flashing
lights shall be deployed around the area, including any access platforms that may
be above or below the affected work location.

6.8 The Subcontractor must notify Contractor Project Site Manager and Project HSE
Manager at least 1 day prior to the commencement of Radiography work so that
relevant method statements and job safety assessments can be further reviewed.
The NDE Subcontractors’ Emergency Procedures for radiation work, including
telephone and pager contact numbers of key personnel, must be posted at the
work site with copies handed over to the Contractor Project Site Manager and
Project HSE Manager.

6.9 All workers inside the cordoned area must wear their personal dosimeters and
results of measurements are to be auditable.

6.10 During exposure, the radiation levels shall be continuously monitored by the NDE
Subcontractor at the outer limits of the cordoned off area and ensure that
radiation levels are within the acceptable limits of less than 0.75 mR per hour. In
the event of excess radiation levels being detected the cordons and barriers must
be moved to extend the restricted area.

6.11 On completion of the work the area must be tested and declared safe by the NDE
supervisor in charge of radiography before the cordons area restriction and
warning signs can be removed. Only when all of the work has been completed,
the area tested and warning signs/barricades removed can the Hazardous Work
Permit be signed off.

6.12 Whenever possible, radiographic examination operation on site will be performed


during nighttime, lunch break or others out of the normal working hours.
