Mid-Level RF Safety Courses
Description Mid-level safety training classes (200 series) are designed to make students both confident and competent to work safely in their environment. Students must successfully pass an exam after the course is completed in order to receive a certificate.
RF Safety for Wireless Professionals & Tower Climbers
Description: This safety training course is designed for tower climbers and other people who work on towers, rooftops, or other areas in close proximity to wireless and broadcast antenna systems. The course covers biological effects, standards, and safe work practices. It discusses safe distances from common antenna systems, such as cellular, paging, two-way radio, radio and television broadcast, and satellite uplinks. The goal is to provide students with a solid foundation in the principles of RF safety, as well as practical information about safe work practices and the use of RF protective equipment. The course will cover both the proper use and limitations of this equipment, which includes both RF personal monitors and RF protective garments. Personnel who successfully complete this course should feel confident to work in areas with significant RF field levels. They will be considered fully aware and able to exercise control in accordance with the FCC Regulations. Course Schedule
RF Safety for Broadcast Professionals
Description: This safety training course is designed for engineering personnel in the broadcast industry. The course covers biological effects, standards, and safe work practices. It also includes information on safe distances from broadcast antennas and other common antenna systems, such as cellular, paging, two-way radio, satellite uplinks, ENG and SNG trucks, and portable equipment. The goal is to provide students with a solid foundation in the principles of RF safety plus practical information on safe work practices and the use of RF protective equipment. The course will cover both the proper use and limitations of this equipment, which includes both RF personal monitors and RF protective garments. Personnel who successfully complete this course should feel confident to work in areas with significant RF field levels. They will be considered fully aware and able to exercise control in accordance with the FCC Regulations. Course Schedule
RF Safety for Environmental Health & Safety Professionals
Description: This safety training course is designed for environmental health and safety professionals who work in a variety of industries and must deal with potentially hazardous levels of RF radiation. The course covers biological effects, standards, and safe work practices in a variety of work environments. All of the major U.S. and Canadian standards (FCC, IEEE.ANSI, ACGIH, and Safety Code 6) are also discussed. The course covers a broad variety of RF sources and how to deal with them. This includes antenna systems for radio and TV broadcast, cellular, paging, two-way radio, satellite uplinks, ENG and SNG trucks, and portable communications equipment. The course also discusses industrial process equipment, such as heat sealers and industrial drying systems. The goal is to provide students with a solid foundation in the principles of RF safety as well as practical information on safe work practices in different industries and work environments. The basics of assessing a work environment and the proper application and use of RF protective equipment, such as RF personal monitors, are also covered. Course Schedule
RF Safety in the Semiconductor Industry
Description: This safety training course is for individuals who either work in or supervise personnel who work in a semiconductor-processing environment. The course covers sources of RF energy in semiconductor-processing equipment, biological effects of RF energy, standards for RF safety, and safe work practices, especially during maintenance and repair. The IEEE.ANSI and ACGIH standards are discussed. The course gives numerous examples of semiconductor-processing equipment, the power levels and frequency of RF sources, and potential sources of leaks. The goal is to provide students with a solid foundation in the principles of RF safety as it applies to the semiconductor-processing environment, as well as practical information on safe work practices.
