Two types of badges: whole body badges (worn for 3 months) and ring badges (worn for 1 month). Ring badges are used when the exposure to hand can be high. These badges are distributed by the RSO and are returned to him/her after the specified use period. The RSO sends to the dosimetry service company for evaluation of the exposures received. The RSO provides report of exposures to each radiation worker annually (or earlier if their exposure exceeds 100 mrem).
