Which regulation governs the Dosimetry Program?

• A. OSHA 1910; DOE orders.
• B. DoD Regulation 6055; ICRP guidelines.
• C. AFMAN 48-148; 10 CFR 20.
• D. AFI 48-145; 29 CFR 1910.

Answer: (C)

The Dosimetry Program is guided by the Air Force’s own implementing manual for radiation protection, paired with the federal radiation protection standard that sets the legal requirements for monitoring and dose limits. The Air Force Manual provides the specific procedures for issuing, reading, and recording dosimeters, as well as maintaining the program’s integrity within the service. The binding regulatory framework comes from 10 CFR 20, which establishes the dose limits, monitoring obligations, and the overall protections for workers exposed to ionizing radiation. Together, they define how the dosimetry program must be run and what is legally required. Other options involve general occupational safety rules or international guidance, which do not set the specific, enforceable requirements for the Air Force dosimetry program in the same way.
