What information is contained on an OSL badge?

• A. Assigned to Worker and Badge, Type of Monitor, Employee Name, SSN, DOB, Gender
• B. Only the worker's name
• C. Address and Phone
• D. Date of issuance

Answer: (A)

The information on an OSL badge is all about identification and traceability. The badge must clearly show who it is assigned to and the badge’s own identifier, what type of monitor the dosimeter is, and the worker’s key personal details to ensure the dose data can be correctly linked to the right individual and interpreted with the correct instrument characteristics. Including the worker’s name plus unique identifiers like SSN, date of birth, and gender helps maintain accurate personnel records and dose history, so regulatory and safety records are reliable. Other options fall short because they don’t provide the full set of identification and monitor-type details needed to attribute and interpret the measurements properly.
