What is the recommended action if someone is found working without an RWP?

If someone is found working without a Radioactive Work Permit (RWP), the recommended action is to stop work and address the violation immediately. The RWP is a crucial document that outlines the specific safety measures and procedures that must be followed while working in areas where there is potential exposure to radiation.

Allowing the individual to continue working without an RWP not only puts them at risk but also compromises the safety of other personnel in the area. Stopping work ensures that the proper protocols are followed and allows for a thorough assessment of the situation. It allows for immediate corrective action to be taken, such as issuing an RWP and providing necessary safety training or instruction.

Reporting to management after the work is done would miss the opportunity to halt potentially unsafe operations and could lead to further violations or accidents. Providing a temporary RWP would not address the underlying issue of safety compliance and could propagate unsafe work practices. Therefore, stopping work and addressing the violation is the most responsible and effective course of action.
