| P. 1 | Line 0019 | Add space between the two letters of the initials |
| P. 1 | Line 0027 | Add space after the first comma |
| P. 1 | Line 0027 | "D.L. Miller" - add space between the two letters of the initials |
| P. 7 | Line 0177 | "C.Cousins" - Add space between initial and surname |
| P. 7 | Line 0180 | "D.L. Miller (Vice-Chair)" - add space between the two letters of the initials |
| P. 11 | Line 0318 | "wearing a dosimeter over an apron that was intended for use under an apron" - add "or in an unshielded pocket of the apron" |
| P. 11 | Line 0341 | "attenuation factor between 20 and 200" - change to "attenuation factor between 200 and 20" |
| P. 15 | Line 0474 | "rivate" - typographical error, should be "private" |
| P. 15 | Line 0492 | At the end of the paragraph add "3D imaging using fluoroscopic equipment is also used in some interventional procedures and intra-operatively, for navigation during surgery." |
| P. 16 | Line 0539 | "at an appropriate depth, d" - add "(in mm)" |
| P. 17 | Line 0552 | "controlable" - replace with "controllable" |
| P. 24 | Line 0833 | Last sentence is an incomplete sentence. |
| P. 25 | Line 0874 | Sugest adding "for the interventionalist" after "10 µSv" |
| P. 25 | 878-884 | One very long sentence - difficult to understand |
| P. 29 | Line 0992 | "he experience" - typographical error, should be "the experience" |
| P. 30 | Line 1041 | Add space between "ratesif" |
| P. 30 | Line 1059 | Add space ".Lower" |
| P. 30 | Line 1072 | Replace "different than" with "different from" |
| P. 32 | Line 1143 | "NCRP, 2017" - reference on page 84, line 3346 says "2016" |
| P. 33 | Line 1174 | "infqection" - replace with "infection" |
| P. 49 | Line 1864 | Perhaps should also consider the situation where an interventionalist is wearing one dosimeter underneath a lead apron and an eye dosemeter (e.g. TLD in headband) acceptable. |
| Consider adding: "Where interventionalists work for two or more employers, it may be necessary to have different sets of dosimeters for each employer and a means of collating the doses recorded from the different sets of dosimeters. Operation between employers is important." | ||
| P. 52 | Line 1999 | Very useful to include recommended minimum lead equivalence for lead glasses and area of glass lens |
| P. 52 | Line 1999 | It would be good to address prescription lead glasses also. |
| P. 57 | Line 2186 | "well as" - replace with "as well as" |
| P. 58 | Line 2229 | On lead aprons: |
| (1) It is important that the user understand the labelling of the lead equivalence for the particular protective garment because where manufacturer quotes "0.35 mmPb", it could be 0.35 mmPb only when two flaps are overlapped, rather than 0.35 mmPb right through every part of the garment; otherwise, users might falsely believe that when the flaps overlap, they get 0.7 mmPb equivalence | ||
| (2) Manufacturers might have tested the transmission of the protective garment in narrow beam geometry using primary radiation, rather than broad beam geometry using scattered radiation which is the situation that staff will be in. | ||
| (3) There are modern materials, for example, bi-layer, rather than a mix of two copenents, which mught be more effective. | ||
| P. 58 | Line 2249 | Mention zero-gravity suspended radiaiton protecton system. |
| P. 59 | Line 2264 | Delete "for males" |
| P. 63 | Line 2458 | Sentence too long to be understood easily. Try to re-phrase if possible. |

| P. 69 | Line 2679 | Add something along this line: Acceptable criteria should be established. Adequate resources should be allowed for the purchase, testing and replacement of protective garments. |
| P. 69 | Line 2700 | Replace "equipmen" with "equipment" |
| P. 69 | Line 2690 | Sentence very long |
| P. 69 | Line 2696 | Sentence very long |
| P. 74 | Line 2857 | Add "or bilayers" after "composite layers" |
| P. 74 | Line 2894 | Add "and geometry" after "beams" |
| P. 75 | Line 2918 | Add"Criteria for acceptablity should be establised" |
| P. 76 | Line 2952 | Change all semi-colons to commas |
| P. 90 | Line 3642 | After "using ionising radiation", add "or when pregnant staff is engaged in interventional radiological work" |
| P. 92 | Line 3654 | Add space after the full-stop |
| P. 94 | Line 3752 | Add "in mm" after "appropriate depth, d," |
