Radiofrequency (RF) radiation is the transmission of energy by electromagnetic radio waves or microwaves. You can’t see it, smell it, hear it, or touch it, but the more you know about RF radiation, the better you will be at managing operations that produce it, and reducing the risks associated with it. Low levels of exposure to RF radiation have not been shown to be harmful, but prolonged exposure to very high levels of RF radiation can burn human tissue. No links have been proven between exposure to RF radiation and more severe health effects, like cancer or reproductive defects. Telecommunication and radar transmitters can produce high-intensity RF radiation environments that are potentially hazardous to anyone operating and maintaining this equipment. This course is designed to provide a general overview and understanding of the hazards associated with radiofrequency radiation.
