Dosimetry

GLOSRAD is an HSE approved dosimetry service for external whole body and extremity/skin dose assessment, co-ordination and record keeping. A comprehensive range of personal radiation dosimeters is available to meet your dosimetry requirements.Wearing a personal radiation dosimeter will provide peace of mind for all staff who are involved in working with ionising radiation. It is a good means of monitoring working practice and ensuring that legal dose limits are not exceeded.

GLOSRAD dosimeters use thermoluminescent technology based on Lithium Fluoride. This is a tissue equivalent material, so the dose received by the dosimeter is a true representation of the dose to the wearer.

This type of material is able to store exposure data for a long period of time and so we can offer monitoring over one, two or three month wear periods. Longer wear periods mean an annual cost saving, without loss of dose information.

Named dosimeters are provided as standard on both whole body and extremity dosimeters. This enables ease of distribution and clear, dose reporting.

GLOSRAD dosimeters measure accurately across a wide dose range, having the sensitivity to meet the very low detection levels required to assess doses for the new Ionising Radiations Regulations.

GLOSRAD dosimeters are of a robust design and highly resistant to chemical attack. This makes them ideal for use in most work environments.

We provide a wide range of extremity dosimeter configurations to suit special applications, such as finger tip, forehead, wrist thyroid and thigh.
