Peoplesafe® 5.0 RF safety training

Why should I know about RF safety?
Radio frequency (RF) energy is all around us.
RF energy is used for things like radar and microwave ovens, but is also used widely in telecommunications, including radio and television broadcasting, cellular telephones, radio communications for police and fire departments, and microwave point-to-point radio links.
Exposure to RF emissions can cause serious health problems.
Problems serious enough that OSHA and the FCC have adopted standards designed to protect both the general public and workers by minimizing possible health risks. Workers that spend time on job sites around transmitting antennas need proper training so they have the knowledge and skills to operate safely in those environments.
Public safety includes RF safety.
Commercial communications providers are very aware of the government regulations concerning RF exposure. Many public safety and government agencies may not be – but first responder facilities are not exempt from these rules. Public safety managers should know the rules and ensure their sites and facilities are managed appropriately, both for their own protection and that of the general public.
