Question 217: How will licensees handle cases where
occupationally exposed workers inform the licensee that
they are concurrently being exposed (and/or monitored) at
another facility, but refuse to name the other facility?
(Note that if the worker is under contract, the other
facilities may be competitors of the licensee).
Answer: Without knowing the occupational dose received by
the worker at the other facility, the licensee cannot
demonstrate compliance with the occupational dose limits
for the worker if it permits the worker to receive
concurrently an occupational dose. The licensee cannot
allow the worker to receive any occupational exposure after
the licensee becomes aware the worker is also receiving an
occupational exposure at another facility which the worker
refuses to name. See 56 FR 23383, third column, and
Question 41 for additional information concerning
concurrent employment. (Reference: 10 CFR 20.1201, 10 CFR
20.2106)
