DFELL Safety and Training Information

If your work at DFELL requires you to enter the controlled radiation area, you must complete the following steps:

Complete the DFELL Radiation Safety Quiz.
This is an open book quiz; read the DFELL Radiation Safety Manual and the DFELL Radiation Training Manual. The answers to the radiation safety quiz are contained in these. Also feel free to discuss the questions and answers with other DFELL workers. The purpose of completing the quiz is to demonstrate that you have read the manuals, understand their contents, and have gained the knowledge to work safely in DFELL. What you learn may prolong your life and those of your co-workers.
The answers to the quiz must be written on a paper copy of the answer sheet, signed and turned in, in order to be able to maintain records of training as required by North Carolina.
If you will receive your dosimeter badge from DFELL, Complete a personal dosimeter request form. Fill in items 1 to 10, and the Certification.
Turn the completed quiz answer sheet and the dosimeter request form to the DFELL Administrator, Denise Gamble in office 125.
The DFELL Radiation Safety Manager will grade your quiz, which has a passing level of 70%. Failure to achieve a passing grade will require re-taking the quiz. The DFELL Administrator will record your grade, file your quiz, and notify you and your Supervisor or Professor of the results. If you will be receiving a dosimeter from DFELL, the Administrator will place an order for your badge. Until your dosimeter arrives, use a pocket dosimeter or a visitors badge which the Administrator can supply.
