The licensee or registrant may accompany agency inspectors during
other phases of an inspection. (c) If,
at the time of inspection, an individual has been authorized by the workers
to represent them during agency inspections, the licensee or registrant shall
notify the inspectors of such authorization and shall give the workers'

inspection of physical working conditions. (d)
Each workers' representative shall be routinely engaged in work under control
of the licensee or registrant and shall have received instructions as

Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Rule, agency inspectors are

deliberately interferes with a fair and orderly inspection. With regard to
any area containing proprietary information, the workers' representative for
that area shall be an individual previously authorized by the licensee or
registrant to enter that area. Consultation with workers as
required by the "North Carolina Regulations For Protection Against
Radiation" rule .1006 (a)
Agency inspectors may consult privately with workers concerning matters of occupational

attention of the inspectors, either orally or in writing, any past or present
condition which he has reason to believe may have contributed to or caused
any violation of the Act, provisions of this Chapter, or license condition,
or any unnecessary exposure of an individual to radiation from licensed radioactive
material or a registered radiation machine under the licensee's or
registrant's control. Any such notice in writing shall comply with the
requirements of Rule .1007 of this Section. (c) The
provisions of Paragraph (b) of this Rule shall not be interpreted as
