RF and Microwave Radiation safety programs are often a
part of a larger radiation, or non-ionizing radiation, safety program.
- FCC
RF Safety Program Website. Federal Communications Commission. Provides access to
FCC rules and guidance documents related to RF safety.
- Protection of DoD Personnel from Exposure to Radiofrequency Radiation and Military Exempt Lasers.
Department of Defense Instruction 6055.11 (1995, February 21), 299 KB
PDF, 34 pages.
This instruction includes DoD exposure
limits which closely follow ANSI C95.1-1991. Also addresses RF signs, electromagnetic
pulses and RF protective clothing.
- Elements of a Comprehensive RF
Protection Program: Role of RF Measurements. Robert A. Curtis, US DOL/OSHA Health
Response Team (1995, April 12), 5 pages. This paper outlines the elements of a
comprehensive RF Protection Program and the role of RF measurements in implementing the
program.
- Electro Magnetic Energy
Evaluation and Management for Antenna Sites. Motorola (1997, October 9),
289 KB
PDF, 23 pages.
Guidance for developing an RF safety program for RF antenna sites.
- Evaluation and Control of Personnel Exposure to Radio Frequency Fields —
3 kHz to 300 GHz. NATO Standardization Agreement (STANAG)
- Radiation
Safety Program, Chapter 14 of the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) Occupational Safety and Health Program
(1999, April), 357 KB
PDF, 17 pages.
The FAA Radiofrequency program includes a letter from OSHA officially
approving FAA's adoption of current exposure limits from ACGIH and
IEEE in lieu of outdated OSHA standards. The program also recognizes
the more restrictive public exposure limits from ANSI C95.1 as an
"action level" which determines when a Radiofrequency Safety
Program is necessary.
- ICES Annual Report 2003-2004.
Electrical and
Electronics Engineers, Inc.(IEEE) International Committee on
Electromagnetic Safety (ICES), 379 KB
PDF, 43 pages. This report reviews the committee's work during
2003-2004 including the approval of a new draft standard, IEEE C95.7,
IEEE Recommended Practice for Radio Frequency Safety Programs.
