No occupational worker shall regularly/routinely be assigned to hold or support humans during radiation exposures. Personnel shall not perform this service except infrequently and then only in cases where no other method is available. A non-occupational worker, such as a mother or father, can hold the patient. Any individual holding or supporting a person during radiation exposure should wear protective gloves and apron with a lead equivalent of not less than 0.25 millimeters. Under no circumstances shall individuals holding or supporting a person place part of their body directly in the primary beam.
