How do you take a reading with a dosimeter?

To take a reading with a dosimeter, first ensure the device is calibrated and functioning correctly. Position the dosimeter according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically at chest level or in a designated area of interest. Allow it to measure radiation levels for the required duration, then read the displayed measurement, which may indicate accumulated dose or current exposure. Finally, record the reading and ensure proper storage or disposal of the dosimeter as needed.
