Safety & General Precautions
The pXRF should be set up in a location that is isolated with minimal people working nearby, but also be easily accessible with sufficient space to scan section halves. This should be done without disrupting other workstations or without danger of dropping or mishandling section halves or core material. Typical locations have been the Downhole Lab bench, Paleo Lab bench or correlators' station, if they are not sailing, but consult with the scientists and co-chiefs for a preferred location. Once set up and it has been established which scientists will be trained to use the device (usually two scientists per shift), dosimeter rings will be issued to each person that will be operating the device and the training technician. Each dosimeter ring has a unique ID and is assigned to a specific person.
