Seabrook SAMS the hard hats. We used to let workers wear hard hat through IPM. This practice ended when a tepid particle was found on the inner brim of a hard hat that a worker had been leaving in the RCA due to repeated "radon" alarms on the hat.
One minor up-side to requiring hard hats be monitored in SAM, is less true radon alarms than when hard hats were worn in IPM's.

Do you require employees to put them in the SAM with other personal hand carried items or do you have employees wear the hard harts through the whole body monitor(s) (Argos/PCM/Portal) Duke's current "empty pockets" policy requires hard hats be monitored through the SAM and we are interested in what other policies are being used and what technical justification, if any, the policy based on.
