There is recognition among federal, state, and occupational health agencies that the explosion in use of cell phones, pagers and other wireless devices has increased awareness that the risk of radio frequency (RF) exposure is a concern not only with employees and employers but with the general public as well. Wireless towers and rooftop antennas are sprouting up at a fast pace and people are living in close proximity thus causing increased concern about safety and health. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the American National l I Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) (FCC, 2001 and ANSI/IEEE, 1992) have established consensus standards to assist in providing a safe and healthful work environment in the identified at risk population. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) promulgated a standard related to radio frequency exposure in 1982 and amended it in 1996. The amended standard is very broad in coverage however, it does reflect changes in the telecommunications industry that were present at that time. However the rapid growth in telecommunications industry since 1996, with the explosion of antennas on rooftops for example, has made it somewhat outdated. Awareness of the actual and potential exposure and sources ofRF radiation when working around antennas, whether they are mounted on rooftops or wireless towers, will allow employers the ability to provide a safe work environment by mitigating the exposure through the use of controls. Research has been carried out extensively on animal subjects but not on humans. Exposure standards have been established based on this research but there is not consensus on the specific effects of short-term RF exposure. Research on the long-term effects of exposure to RF radiation is inconclusive and this must be addressed in future studies. This paper will provide information relevant to radio frequency (RF) education that will be beneficial in developing and implementing a RF safety program. The information is directed at occupational health professionals to aid in educating site managers, tower technicians, and all other personnel in providing a safe and healthful work environment related to developing and implementing a RF safety awareness education program.
