Summary of General RF Safety guidelines for working near antennas

Follow these general RF safety guidelines when working near an antenna:

1) Look for site specific RF exposure diagrams posted at the roof access door.
2) Read and follow directions on the RF safety sign.
3) Do not alter or remove any RF safety control measures in place at or near antennas.
4) Do NOT enter an area posted with a NOTICE, CAUTION or WARNING RF alerting sign.
5) Do NOT enter area where barriers or striping is located

 

If you must work in the area, contact the antenna operator at least 24 hours in advance and request the antenna(s) be turned off.

NOTE: Only fully RF trained occupational workers may access areas while the antenna is operating, and follow their company instructions and safe work practices
