Which form is used for the record of occupational radiation exposure?

• A. OF23
• B. DD Form 1952
• C. DD Form 1149
• D. SF 600

Answer: (B)

Tracking how much ionizing radiation a worker has been exposed to over time is essential for safety and medical monitoring. A standardized record that collects all dose data from dosimeters and stays with the worker across assignments lets health physics and medical staff review the history, assess against dose limits, and decide on needed protections or medical evaluations.

DD Form 1952 is the designated DoD form for recording occupational radiation exposure. It is specifically built to capture the individual's dose history from monitoring results, making it the portable, official record used to document deep, lens, and shallow dose data and to track exposure over time. The other forms serve different purposes: OF-23 is not the standard radiation exposure log, DD Form 1149 is for requisitions/shipping documents, and SF 600 is a general medical record form rather than a dedicated exposure record.
