Declare pregnancy: Contact occupational health. Federal law mandates a reduced dose limit for a radiation worker who has voluntarily declared her pregnancy (goo.Gl/3yci0). A healthcare facility must monitor radiation dose of x-ray workers through use of personal dosimeter or badge. Wear your badge in front at waist level, under any ppe (lead gown). Time, distance, and shielding are keys for you to work safely.
