The licensee may consider the following in limiting the concentrations of radioactive material in air.

027.01 INCREASED MONITORING AND LIMIT INTAKES. When it is not practical to apply process or other engineering controls to control the concentrations of radioactive material in air to values below those that define an airborne radioactivity area, the licensee or registrant must, consistent with maintaining the total effective dose equivalent as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA), increase monitoring and limit intakes by one or more of the following means:

(A) Control of access;

(B) Limitation of exposure times;

(C) Use of respiratory protection equipment; or

(D) Other controls.

027.02 SAFETY FACTORS. If the licensee performs an as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) analysis to determine whether or not respirators should be used, the licensee may consider safety factors other than radiological factors. The licensee may also consider the impact of respirator use on workers' industrial health and safety.
