3.38 Continuous Coverage - Radiation Protection Technician who performs constant coverage of work activities and radiological conditions and who is available to direct or stop work activities as radiological conditions warrant. There are three types of continuous coverage:

1. Remote Monitoring: Used in a work area where dose rates vary due to worker position or changing dose rates. The Radiation Protection Technician has the ability to monitor the worker(s) visually or with a camera, teledosimetry, and voice communication

2. Direct Monitoring: Used in a work area where dose rates vary due to worker position or changing dose rates. The Radiation Protection Technician is in the line of sight with worker(s) or is able to restrict worker(s) movement by use of physical barriers. RP tech periodically checks accumulated dose for the worker(s).
3. Indirect Monitoring – Used in a work area where dose rates are constant. The Radiation Protection Technician in a low dose area monitoring worker (s) dose by means of maximum stay time or teledosimetry.

We are having internal debate on whether or not cameras can be used by Supervisors as direct oversight or if the Supervisor needs to be in the field.

Does anyone allow the use of cameras for direct supervisor oversight of High Radiological Risk work?
