§ 33-08 Signage and Information to Be Provided to Screened Individuals.
RCNY § 33-08
(a)Signage.
(1)Signs indicating that radiation is being applied must be conspicuously posted and must indicate that all members of the public must stand behind designated locations during scanning operation.
(2)DOC must post conspicuous signage indicating where individuals should stand in areas adjacent to body scanner usage, e.g., signs indicating that detainees should not proceed beyond "this point" while scanners are in use.
(3)A sign must be posted in an area visible to an individual immediately prior to being screened that compares the dose of a commonly known source of radiation to the dose to be delivered.
(4)A sign must be posted that advises pregnant and potentially pregnant females that they should not be screened and that they should inform DOC personnel of such status.
(5)Signs required by paragraphs (2) - (4) must be in English and Spanish, and any other languages deemed by DOC to be appropriate or necessary. For all detainees unable to read these languages, a written copy in their native language must be made available to them and/or explained to them by persons who speak their native language.
(b)Information to be provided to screened individuals. Each detainee upon release from a DOC facility has the right to be provided by DOC on request the total accumulated radiation exposure from all body scans so conducted during that individual's incarceration. DOC must apprise each detainee of this right. (Added City Record 1/16/2019, eff. 2/15/2019)
