RADHAZ awareness training
Does your organisation manufacture, install, maintain or manage equipment and systems that incorporate radio frequency (RF) transmission technology?
Employers have an obligation under the Occupational Health and Safety Act to ensure that all employees involved in any activity associated with RF radiation are made safe by being aware of RF hazards.
