R 333.5080 Determination and records of prior occupational dose.

Rule 80. (1) For each individual likely to receive an annual occupational dose requiring monitoring under R 333.5064, the registrant shall determine the occupational radiation dose received during the current year. To comply, a registrant may do any of the following: (a) Accept, as a record of an individual’s occupational dose, a written and signed statement from the individual, or from the individual's most recent employer for work involving radiation exposure, that documents the nature and the amount of occupational dose the individual may have received during the current year. (b) Accept, as the record of cumulative radiation dose, an up-to-date department Form MIOSHA-RSS-101, or equivalent, signed by the individual and countersigned by either an appropriate official of the most recent employer for work involving radiation exposure, or by the individual's current employer if the individual is not employed by the registrant. (c) Obtain reports of the individual's dose equivalents from the most recent employer for work involving radiation exposure, or the individual's current employer if the individual is not employed by the registrant, by telephone, telegram, facsimile, other electronic media, or letter. The registrant shall request a written verification of the dose data if the authenticity of the reports cannot be established. (2) The registrant shall record the exposure history of each individual, as required by subrule (1) of this rule, on department Form MIOSHA-RSS-101, or other clear and legible record, that includes all the information required on that form. The form or record shall show each period in which the individual received occupational exposure to radiation. For each period for which the registrant obtains reports, the registrant shall use the dose shown in the report in preparing department Form MIOSHA-RSS-101 or equivalent. For a period in which the registrant does not obtain a report, the registrant shall place a notation on department Form MIOSHA-RSS-101, or equivalent, indicating the periods for which data are not available. (3) If the registrant cannot obtain a complete record of an individual’s occupational dose for the current year, the registrant shall assume, in establishing administrative controls pursuant to R 333.5057(4) for the current year, that the allowable dose limit for the individual is reduced by 12.5 millisieverts (1,250 mrem) for each calendar quarter for which records are unavailable and the individual was engaged in activities that could have resulted in occupational radiation exposure. (4) The registrant shall retain the records on department Form MIOSHA-RSS-101, or equivalent, until the department terminates each pertinent registration requiring this record. The registrant shall retain records used in preparing department Form MIOSHA- RSS-101, or equivalent, for 3 years after the record is made.
