One of the main goals for Radiation Safety Professionals is to help maintain 
radiation worker doses below administrative control levels. In the radiation 
safety field there is an increasing recognition of the value of 
dosimetry-related data that can be used to enhance safety programs and 
regulatory compliance. Mining radiation dosimetry data and rendering results in 
the form of dashboards provides insights for the Radiation Safety Professionals 
that could help improve the radiological protection programs effectiveness, 
enhances quality, and reduces cost. Quite often the professionals spend more 
time assembling data than analyzing for trends and acting to improve the 
radiation safety program. Data analysis tools were developed allowing the 
radiation safety professionals to perform surveillance on key parameters in the 
dosimetry program that can help identifying risks and insure early intervention. 
More than 2,200 institutions chosen from different industries were surveyed for 
more than 2 years after the implementation of this tool. Four indicators: dose 
per participant, collective dose, dosimeter return compliance, and number of 
workers exceeding ALARA levels were chosen as meaningful parameters in 
characterizing the health of the program. These parameters were tracked, 
analyzed, and compared to benchmarks developed based on more than 1 million 
monitored workers.
