The guidelines proposed in this paper provide a means for evaluating the experience and training of health physics technicians versus industry standards. Particular attention is directed towards the amount of experience that can be credited for work at non-commercial nuclear facilities and for jobs at commercial power facilities that are related to but are not the same as health physics technicians. These guidelines are intended to be used to assist with the evaluation of an individual's background for consideration as a senior technician', but they are only one means of doing so. In addition, the individual's technical knowledge should be evaluated through either oral or written testing, past work performance should be evaluated through previous observation or reference checks, and on-the-job performance should be confirmed by supervision. All of the above should be a part of the qualification process for health physics technicians assigned to responsible positions.
