  12. For transportation of a gauge, the U.S Department of Transportation re- quires that the device source rod handle be locked, the properly labeled Type A Transport case be locked and

2 / secured with two independent physical controls (chain/lock assemblies) and blocked/braced to prevent shifting. (T or F): True

  1. A gauge should never be left unattended on job site (could be lost damaged or stolen.) (T or F): True
  2. The acronym ALARA regarding radiation exposure stands for: As Low As Reason- ably Possible
  3. A moisture density gauge damaged in an incident may be immediately removed from the site (to allow for the continuance of work), with no regard for radioactive material contamination. (T or F): False
  4. What are the three basic ways to reduce exposure to radiation: Time, Shielding, Distance
  5. PSI policy requires that a dosimetry badge must be worn when using a transporting a gauge. (T or F): True
  6. Describe in detail how a gauge is required to be stored and locked into a pickup truck: The gauge is locked towards the top of the handle and is stored safely in a Type A package. It is then placed in the back right corner of the truck and is locked with one lock locking into the top handle of the Type A package and the other lock locking into the clasp of the Package. Make sure that the package cannot shift more than 1 inch.
  7. A gauge operator is required to maintain constant surveillance and imme- diate control of a gauge at all times when the gauge is not locked in storage or in the transport vehicle. (T or F): True
  8. If the tip of the gauge source rod should come in direct contact with your hand, you will have: Radiation exposure to your hand
  9. A gauge should never be transported in the passenger compartment of a vehicle. (T or F): True
  10. Ionizing radiation cannot be detected by the human senses. (T or F): True
  11. Radiation exposure and radioactive material contamination are the same thing. (T or F): False
  12. The foreman for each job site is responsible for the security and control of all moisture density gauges. (T or F): False
  13. Scenario: A moisture density gauge in your possession is

4 / site, out of his immediate control, as long as the gauge operator can see the gauge. (T or F): False

  1. A U.S HAZMAT certification is required in order to transport or ship a gauge. (T or F): True
  2. Please list the required documents that must accompany a moisture den- sity gauge at al times while in transit: Completed Bill of Lading, Current Leak Test Certificate, Radioactive Materials License, Completed in Event of an Accident Sheet, Emergency Response Info Sheet
  3. While doing the 360 degrees walk around of the transport vehicle, which of the following should be verified: All of the above (gauge case is locked, gauge case is chained with two physical controls, gauge case is blocked/braced to prevent shifting, truck tailgate is latched.)
  4. Moisture density gauge should be secured for transportation with two independent physical controls in which area of the vehicle: In right rear bed of the truck
  5. If moisture builds up internally in the gauge, what 3 things should you do?: Charge the gauge overnight, remove keypad while in secure storage so air can circulate inside, use a hair dryer (in extreme cases)
  6. A gauge may be left unattended if: The gauge is locked, locked in a transport case, and is secured (double chained and locked) to the transport vehicle
