What does SOP indicate on the survey map?

• A. Step off pad
• B. Standard Operating Procedure
• C. Survey optimization plan
• D. Safety Operation Protocol

Answer: (A)

In a survey map used for radiological work, SOP marks a Step Off Pad—the designated clean area where a worker steps off from a contaminated or controlled zone to minimize spreading contamination. This label refers to a physical feature on the map, guiding where to transition from potentially contaminated areas to safe zones. It isn’t pointing to a procedural document or plan; those would be described separately. The other options describe documents or plans, which aren’t what a map marker would indicate.
