High exposure to RF EMR can cause increased body temperature and heating of biological tissue, causing cellular damage. Persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs) must manage the work health and safety (WHS) risks for workers who may be exposed to RF EMR sources.
Safe Work Australia’s ‘Working safely around Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Radiation’ provides practical guidance for PCBUs on managing WHS risks for workers who may be exposed to RF EMR sources, particularly from RF transmitting antennas.
