Roentgens are historical units of exposure, it's simply what a lot of older meters read.
Roentgens can be assumed to safely equal RADs (although they don't, conversion is less than 1 for kV), the historical unit for "Radiation Absorbed Dose." For photons this would be equal to REM "Radiation Equivalent Man."
All old units; conversion to S.I., 100 rad = 1 Gray (J/Kg), 100 rem = 1 Sievert.
Essentially, who ever wrote the report was old and conservative.
The occupational risk is also essentially nil. This is much ado about nada.

A properly sealed 5gal bucket will remain air tight even if it's bouncing around inside a tote in the bed of a truck on rural gravel roads for ~10mo (the tote flooded at some point but the bucket wound up dry). Sitting in a cabinet the risk of dust making it out of the bucket would have been nonexistent so long as the lid was on it.
