Dosimeters are used to track occupational radiation exposure. Dosimeters are returned every 2 months in order to identify possible problems on a continuing basis. Wearing a dosimeter is required for some radiation use and is determined by Radiation Safety. Radiation Safety manages all dosimetry for radiation users on the CU Boulder and CU Colorado Springs campuses. To apply for a dosimeter, follow the steps below:
- Complete appropriate Radiation Safety Training module on SciShield (Search Course Directory under the Training link).
- Fill out the Dosimetry Application (fillable PDF) with as much information as possible.
- Return completed form toÌýRadiation SafetyÌývia email (radsafety@colorado.edu), campus mail (413 UCB), or in person at the Environmental Health and Safety Center (1000 Regent Drive).
Fetal monitoring is available upon request. Radiation dose limit is lower during pregnancy. A pregnant worker must declare their pregnancy and fill out the Fetal Dosimetry application form below to be assigned fetal monitors. Fetal dosimeters are exchanged on a monthly basis.
