Jerry, At STP we also do not use rope barricades for radiation areas unless it would help define the area for the workers (judgment call)

We might use several Radiation Area postings on stanchions, placed around a B-25 that met the 5mR/hr at one foot criteria for being a Radiation Area, for example, without connecting all of the postings/stanchions using rad rope. Question: Does your site post Radiation Areas similarly, or do you require Radiation Area postings/stanchions to be linked together using rad rope?
