A record of the survey and results must be made and maintained. This is the only way we can mutually assure that safe occupancy and work conditions are being maintained in each radiation use space. Each AU is solely and individually responsible for her or his approved spaces, regardless of which or how many other AUs also have use approval for the same space. A group of AUs having common use space may, however, work out a system by which somebody conducts the space survey and pro-vides each AU with a copy of the record. When this happens, unexpectedly or by plan, adjustments must be made to assure the safety plan continues intact.
Timely surveys are a basic health and safety requirement.
Please help UK maintain and improve its safety record. We are occasionally asked to recommend GM survey meters for use in campus laboratories. We do not recommend one vendor over another, but we do recommend including the audio option. The audio response is faster than the scale indicator or needle, and it allows you to watch the area you are monitoring rather than watching the meter. When planning to purchase a meter, you are welcome to look through our catalogues, or if you prefer to call, the companies' numbers are listed below.
