Electromagnetic Radiation Hazards Awareness

Course Description:

This one-day day course provides information on potential Radiation Hazards (RADHAZ) caused by transmitter/antenna installations that generate electromagnetic radiation in the vicinity of ordnance, personnel and fuel operations in excess of established safe levels.  RADHAZ is associated with an electromagnetic field of sufficient intensity to:

• Induce currents of enough magnitude to initiate electroexplosive devices of weapon systems - Hazard of Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance (HERO)
• Cause harmful effects to humans - Hazard of Electromagnetic Radiation to Personnel (HERP)
• Create sparks of sufficient magnitude to ignite flammable mixtures - Hazard of Electromagnetic Radiation to Fuel (HERF)

This course will address the principles and practices associated with reducing these hazards in DoD.
