Are you prepared for your next audit? 

1. Document Organization: Make sure you've got all your radiation survey records, source holder location maps, and leak test records sorted and easy to access. This way, when an auditor asks for them, you can quickly pull them out without any hassle.

2. Dosimetry: It's not always necessary for everyone, but you should have a solid explanation (preferably in writing) about why certain personnel do or don’t need dosimetry. Keep this info handy in your radiation safety program documents.

3. Training Records: Regulators often ask about training for your radiation safety officers, their assistants, and anyone using the gauges. Keeping these records tidy and together with your other necessary documents will help your inspection run smoothly.
