WAC 296-843-13005
Conduct monitoring for health and
safety hazards during initial site entry.
You must:
• Make visual observations of the site to detect signs of
actual or potential immediately dangerous to life or health
(IDLH) or other dangerous conditions.
• Conduct representative air monitoring with direct
reading test equipment, when the preliminary site evaluation
does not eliminate the potential for ionizing radiation or
IDLH conditions.
• Assess the following:
– Potential IDLH conditions.
– Exposure over radioactive material dose limits.
– Potential exposure over permissible exposure limits
(PELs) or other published exposure levels.
– Other dangerous conditions, such as the presence of
flammable or oxygen-deficient atmospheres.

See WAC 296-62-09004, Ionizing radiation, for additional information about radioactive material dose limits.
