** Radiation Protection Specialists are generally not involved in tasks that would be considered heavy labour.  The site is environmentally challenging with some temperature extremes involved (very cold to very warm). Precautions are always utilized in these cases. They will be expected to walk outdoors (sometimes in rugged terrain) regularly while carrying instrumentation.  RP Specialists may be required to use ladders. 

All RP staff must be capable of wearing PPE, including respirators if required.  Site-specific radiation protection PPE will be provided.
