If we fail that test we don't get to walk into that room even to check a fire extinguisher's expiry date. Why would the fire dude, or me the engineer dude, care what the release requirements are? We'd call a pro, that's what we do...
For icky stuff like Be, U and Pu I just assume that I shouldn't smoke it, eat it, make it into smaller pieces or even lick it. Always wear gloves and a condom...

Tedious doesn't begin to describe it, but almost all those rules and requirements are dictated by law.
Darn burrow-crats making up rules about stuff they don't understand, and the CIH have to deal with it and try to keep the company in compliance. Not easy.
