What is a turnover period?
Each quarter (90 days), the badges are sent to Global (www.dosimetry.com) to be read for exposure and new badges are sent back to the university to be issued to the radiation workers. This change over is the quarterly turnover period. Quarterly turnover dates are Jan. 15, Apr. 15, July 15 and Oct. 15. Spare badges may be issued at any point during the interim before the quarterly collection date, and the Badge Coordinators should inquire from the lab if any extra badges should be collected at the quarterly turnover pickup, i.e., do not rely strictly on the packing slip when collecting the badges at the end of the quarter.
