Description

RF Safety Solutions uses tables and drawings in the "Company Requirements" section (see Program Outline) of the RF Safety Programs that it designs whenever specific hardware or situations are described.  The tables refer to RF radiation safety "zones" that are defined for various sites or hardware and conditions.

Sample Table

Here is a table from an actual safety program.  Only the name of the organization and its location in the title have been changed.

Sample Drawings

Drawings are often used in our safety programs to make things easier to understand.  Here are some drawings from a safety program describing the safety zones around a Electronic News Gathering (ENG) Truck.  The concern with this vehicle is during maintenance operations when someone might be on the roof of the truck.
