The SBE RF Safety Course, instructed by RF Safety expert Richard Strickland, provides an overview of RF radiation issues and practices for broadcasters, including:

  • Biological effects of RF radiation and the distinct differences between RF radiation and ionizing radiation
  • FCC and OSHA regulations - what they are and what you need to do to comply
  • Workplace hazards
  • Transmitter sites
  • SNG and ENG trucks
  • Remote operations (where news personnel can find problems such as on rooftops)
  • The unique issues at AM stations
  • RF hazard protection equipment - you may not need it but your contractors probably will
  • Signs - what they mean and what you need

The course is designed for broadcast station personnel, including chief and assistant chief engineers, transmitter site engineers, ENG and SNG maintenance personnel and management that need to have an understanding of RF safety issues and regulations.
