RF and Microwave Radiation exposure can lead to heating of tissue in the human body, which can cause irreversible damage. Damage of this type is avoided by monitoring your environment to identify the sources of the radiation, and their respective amplitude. Hence, the most immediate reason for RF and Microwave Safety training is the protection of human health. Unlike many other workplace hazards, RF and Microwave radiation are invisible, odorless, and cannot be felt until the exposure is significantly high. High levels of this non-ionizing radiation can cause dangerous thermal effects, essentially heating human tissue in much the same way a microwave oven heats food. This can lead to deep

RF and Microwave Safety is a topic that is often neglected or overlooked in academia, laboratory environments, industrial facilities, government operations, and military facilities. Ignoring RF and Microwave Safety does not eliminate the hazard, but increases the probability that someone will be injured due to this negligence. Injuries of this type can be mitigated if RF and Microwave Safety is practiced daily by employees, lab technicians, engineers, scientists, supervisors, managers, directors, and the C-Suite team. Everyone should be aware that:

1. 1OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, provides guidelines for the safety of employees.
   1. aOSHA only becomes involved AFTER an accident has occurred, to investigate and document the cause of the accident.
2. 2Similarly, the FCC, Federal Communications Commission, provides guidelines for the safety of employees.
   1. aThe FCC does not investigate workplace accidents, but they do investigate sources of interference with FCC-licensed communication systems
3. 3Individual states also provide their own versions of OSHA and FCC guidelines for the safety of employees
