Description / Abstract:
This guide presents information on establishing an effective
safety program to ensure compliance with the applicable regulations
for radio frequency (RF) protection of electrical workers in the
vicinity of wireless communication antennas adjacent or attached to
electrical power line structures. The guide also provides
information on power-frequency electric and magnetic field immunity
of RF personal monitors (RFPM) and RF protective clothing.
Purpose
Electric utilities are required to meet the requirements
established by applicable regulations [e.g., Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA), Federal Communications Commission
(FCC)] for protection of electrical workers in the vicinity of
wireless communication antennas adjacent or attached to electrical
power line structures. This guide presents information on
establishing an effective safety program to assure compliance with
these regulatory requirements, including information on RF exposure
limits, power-frequency electric and magnetic field immunity of
RFPM, and RF protective clothing.
