Kan. Admin. Regs. § 28-35-169 - Design requirements for an operator's booth
(a) Space
requirements.
(1) Each operator shall be
allotted adequate room to operate the unit effectively.
(2) In determining whether the allotted space
is adequate, any encumbrance by the control panel, overhang, cables, or other
similar encroachments shall be evaluated.
(3) The booth shall be located or constructed
so that unattenuated direct scattered radiation originating on the examination
table or at the wall cassette cannot reach the operator's station in the booth.
(b) Structural
requirements. Shielding shall be provided to meet the requirements of K.A.R.
28-35-211a through K.A.R. 28-35-234a of these regulations.
(c) Control placement. The control for the
system shall be fixed within the booth.

The operation of the radiation-producing devices shall be possible only from
within the booth.
(2) The location
of the control shall allow the operator to use the majority of the available
viewing systems.
(d)
Viewing system requirements.
(1) Each booth
shall have at least one viewing device positioned so that both of the following
conditions are met:
(A) The operator can view
the patient during any exposure.
(B) The operator can have full view of any
occupant of the room and anyone who enters the room. If any door allowing
access to the room cannot be seen from the booth, that door shall have an
interlock control that prevents exposure if the door is not closed.
(2) If the viewing system is a
window, the window shall have the same lead equivalence as that required for
the booth's wall in which the window is mounted.
