RFR Awareness and safety training is specifically designed to meet the requirements of the radio, broadcasting and wireless industry. It will help to comply with FCC/OSHA regulations for working in electromagnetic fields.

IEEE/ANSI as well as FCC OET Bulletin 65 defines occupational/controlled exposure in an RF environment. In order to apply the occupational/controlled exposure limits a person exposed to electromagnetic energy must have been made fully aware of electromagnetic emission (EME) and must be able to control the exposure.

The following topics will be covered:

1.  Major standards and exposure limits

• OSHA
• FCC
• International Standards

2.  Health Effects

• Thermal effects
• Non-thermal effects

3.  RFR Awareness

• Antenna designs
• Calculations

4.  RFR Safety Equipment

• Radiation monitors
• Personal monitors
• RF protective garments

5.  Setting up a RFR safety program

• RF mapping
• RF safety measures
• RF warning signs
