Ariz. Admin. Code § R9-7-806 - Operating Requirements
A. A
radiation safety officer shall establish written emergency procedures and post
the procedures in a conspicuous location. The procedures shall include the
telephone number of the radiation safety officer.
B. A registrant shall ensure that written
operating procedures are available for all analytical x-ray equipment workers.
An individual shall not operate analytical x-ray equipment in any manner other
than that specified in the procedures unless the individual obtains the
radiation safety officer's written approval.
C. An individual shall not bypass a safety
device or interlock unless the individual has obtained Radiation Safety Officer
approval. The approval shall be for a specific period of time. When a safety
device or interlock has been bypassed, the Radiation Safety Officer shall place
a readily discernible sign on the radiation source housing, warning the reader
of the unsafe condition. A registrant shall maintain the written record of the
bypass approval for three years after the approval expires.
D. Except as authorized in subsection (C), an
individual shall not perform an operation involving removal of covers,
shielding materials, or tube housings or modification of shutters, collimators,
or beam stops without ascertaining that the tube is off and that it will remain
off until all protective devices have been restored to the normal operating
condition. An individual repairing analytical x-ray equipment shall use the
main switch, rather than interlocks, for routine shutdown in preparation for
repairs.
E. A registrant shall
ensure that unused ports on radiation source housings are closed and secured
against unauthorized access to the radiation source.
F. Finger or wrist personnel monitoring
devices shall be used by:
1. Operators of open
beam analytical x-ray equipment not equipped with a safety device;
and
2. Personnel performing
maintenance procedures that require the presence of a primary x-ray beam when
any local component is disassembled or removed.
G. A registrant shall ensure that each safety
and warning device is tested for proper operation at intervals that do not
exceed one month and maintain a record of each test for three years from the
date the test is completed.
