I'll admit to being fairly ignorant in what I'm about to say, but I'm at least basing it on some common sense. Couldn't the employees keep the dosimeters in a pocket? Maybe there's an argument to be made about clothing deflecting some of the rays, but actually that would more closely reflect the amount of radiation that reaches the scanner victim's skin.
I'm sure that there would be no trouble keeping such a device in a pocket, under clothes or whatever. It's not like these employees are screened as they are coming into work, into the sterile area or anything like that.
