    1. The film badge / TLD are dosimeters and will not shield you from radiation. It only
    measures and monitors your exposure to radiation while working in a radiation

    2. The dosimeter is worn preferably in the CHEST AREA to monitor exposure of the
    whole body to radiation.
    3. If the user is wearing a lead apron / gown, the dosimeter should be placed under it.

    4. The TLD badge must be worn with the thin foil covering facing outwards. Do not
    pierce or damage it.

    5. The dosimeter must be worn only within the radiation facility.

    6. The CONTROL FILM / TLD should NOT be placed on the X-ray machine or near
    the source of radiation. Put it in the designated area with a storage rack where the
    dosimeters of the personnel are placed when not in use, e.g. in the reception or
    office areas.

    7. The issued films / TLDs shall be used until the end of the MONITORING PERIOD
    indicated in the upper right of the Identification (ID) Sheet.
