What is the recommended method for attaching the dosimeter to a worker?

The recommended method for attaching the dosimeter to a worker is to ensure that the cable will not snag on anything and to attach it appropriately. This approach is crucial because the dosimeter must be positioned correctly to accurately measure exposure while providing safe and comfortable use for the worker.

A secure attachment minimizes the risk of the dosimeter being dislodged during work activities, which could result in inaccurate readings or even loss of the device. Ensuring that cables do not snag helps to prevent potential accidents, such as tripping or pulling the dosimeter off its designated position, which would compromise its functionality.

In contrast, attaching the dosimeter loosely may lead to it moving out of position or falling off entirely, placing its reliability in jeopardy. Placing it in a pocket could obstruct its ability to measure exposure accurately because it may not be adequately exposed to the surrounding environment like air contaminants. Using multiple strapping methods, while it may add security, could also unnecessarily complicate the attachment process and create discomfort for the wearer. Therefore, the best practice is to attach the dosimeter in a way that is secure and free from potential hazards while allowing for accurate monitoring.
