RF Safety Training covers RF theory of operations, regulations and RF standards, types of radiation and field effect, Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) at RF sites, RF safety signs, hazard assessment, Lock out – Tag out procedures and Personal Protective equipment. RF Safety training is for anyone who may encounter RF fields or RF exposure, and is required training for employees and sub-contractors in the telecommunications industry. WHAT ARE “RADIOFREQUENCY” AND MICROWAVE RADIATION? Electromagnetic radiation consists of waves of electric and magnetic energy moving together (i.e., radiating) through space at the speed of light.  Taken together, all forms of electromagnetic energy are referred to as the electromagnetic “spectrum.”   Radio waves and microwaves emitted by transmitting antennas are one form of electromagnetic energy.  They are collectively referred to as “radiofrequency” or “RF” energy or radiation.   Note that the term “radiation” does not mean “radioactive.”  Often, the terms “electromagnetic field” or “radiofrequency field” may be used to indicate the presence of electromagnetic or RF energy. The RF waves emanating from an antenna are generated by the movement of electrical charges in the antenna.   Upon completion of the RF safety training course, the attendees will learn about: RF Theory of Operation RF Site Safety and the Law Type of RF Radiation Introduction to Antennas and RF sources Analyzing Maximum Permissible Exposure – MPE How to begin Hazard assessment Available Personal Protective Equipment – PPE RF Safety Models Learn more.

RF Safety Training covers RF theory of operations,
regulations and RF standards, types of radiation and
field effect, Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) at
RF sites, RF safety signs, hazard assessment, Lock out
– Tag out procedures and Personal Protective
equipment. RF Safety training is for anyone who may
encounter RF fields or RF exposure, and is required
training for employees and sub-contractors in the
telecommunications industry.
RF safety training highlights: Radiofrequency (RF) and
microwave (MW) radiation are electromagnetic
radiation in the frequency ranges 3 kilohertz (kHz) –
300 Megahertz (MHz), and 300 MHz – 300 gigahertz
(GHz), respectively. Research continues on possible
biological effects of exposure to RF/MW radiation
from radios, cellular phones, the processing and
cooking of foods, heat sealers, vinyl welders, high
frequency welders, induction heaters, flow solder
machines, communications transmitters, radar
transmitters, ion implant equipment, microwave
drying equipment, sputtering equipment and glue
curing.

WHAT ARE “RADIOFREQUENCY” AND MICROWAVE
RADIATION?
Electromagnetic radiation consists of waves of electric
and magnetic energy moving together (i.e., radiating)
through space at the speed of light. Taken together, all
forms of electromagnetic energy are referred to as the
electromagnetic “spectrum.”
Radio waves and microwaves emitted by transmitting
antennas are one form of electromagnetic energy. They
are collectively referred to as “radiofrequency” or “RF”
energy or radiation.
Note that the term “radiation” does not mean
“radioactive.” Often, the terms “electromagnetic field”
or “radiofrequency field” may be used to indicate the
presence of electromagnetic or RF energy.
The RF waves emanating from an antenna are generated
by the movement of electrical charges in the antenna.

Electromagnetic waves can be characterized by a
wavelength and a frequency. The wavelength is the
distance covered by one complete cycle of the
electromagnetic wave, while the frequency is the
number of electromagnetic waves passing a given
point in one second. The frequency of an RF signal is
usually expressed in terms of a unit called the “hertz”
(abbreviated “Hz”). One Hz equals one cycle per
second. One megahertz (“MHz”) equals one million
cycles per second.
Different forms of electromagnetic energy are
categorized by their wavelengths and frequencies.
The RF part of the electromagnetic spectrum is
generally defined as that part of the spectrum where
electromagnetic waves have frequencies in the range
of about 3 kilohertz (3 kHz) to 300 gigahertz (300
GHz).
Microwaves are a specific category of radio waves that
can be loosely defined as radiofrequency energy at
frequencies ranging from about 1 GHz upward.

WHAT IS NON-IONIZING RADIATION?
“Ionization” is a process by which electrons are stripped from atoms and molecules. This process
can produce molecular changes that can lead to damage in biological tissue, including effects on
DNA, the genetic material of living organisms. This process requires interaction with high levels of
electromagnetic energy. Those types of electromagnetic radiation with enough energy to ionize
biological material include X-radiation and gamma radiation. Therefore, X-rays and gamma rays
are examples of ionizing radiation.
The energy levels associated with RF and microwave radiation, on the other hand, are not great
enough to cause the ionization of atoms and molecules, and RF energy is, therefore, is a type of
non-ionizing radiation. Other types of non-ionizing radiation include visible and infrared
light. Often the term “radiation” is used, colloquially, to imply that ionizing radiation
(radioactivity), such as that associated with nuclear power plants, is present. Ionizing radiation
should not be confused with the lower-energy, non-ionizing radiation with respect to possible
biological effects, since the mechanisms of action are quite different.
Attendees attending this class will receive a completion certificate and card complying with OSHA
reporting requirements in 29 CFR1910.268.
