AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - RADIATION TECHNICIAN POTENTIAL OVEREXPOSURE
The following information was obtained from the State of Florida via email:
"An employee of Cardinal Health had a dosimeter reading of 140 REM. The employee routinely wears one whole-body badge and two ring dosimeters assigned to him. These findings are for the wear period of 2/16/2015-3/1/2015. The whole body badge had a reported dose of 140884 mRem DDE and 241488 mRem SDE. [Cardinal Health] stated that the individual didn't have any reportable readings from their rings badges for this wear period. The individual is showing no symptoms of overexposure and has been removed from handling radioactive material as a safety precaution. It is believed that the badge may have become contaminated therefore distorting the correct exposure reading. Cardinal Health is reportedly conducting an investigation to find the cause and extent of this incident. Pending the Landauer report and some additional information, an investigator will be assigned to inspect their laboratory for safety and confirm Cardinal Health's investigative conclusions."
Florida Incident Number: FL15-023
