RF Best Management Practices™
This
course is specifically designed to compliment the new RSI online
customizable RF safety plan. Participants taking the class, and
utilizing a RF plan, will be well on their way to designing and
developing an RF Safety Program (RFSP). OSHA requires a comprehensive
RF program, to include training. Through RSI’s BMP live course,
and the easy to formulate customized online RF safety plan, attendees
will be armed with the tools necessary to achieve the complete program!
This course meets all requirements for RF safety certification;
and by attending, participants will be able to immediately begin
utilizing the information to develop their programs.
RF Best Management Practices (BMP) follows recommendations for
RF safety training specific to State OSHA requirements including
NC, MI, and is updated with other new state standards as they are
released. This course also meets the RF training requirements for
AT&T, Verizon, Bechtel, Black & Veatch and most other major
carriers and contracting organizations.
 The half day course focuses on FCC and OSHA requirements, as RSI’s
original Site Safety Awareness® course has done in the past,
but it also goes in-depth on third party liability to the general
public. This liability is shared by all on site to include the transmitter
licensee and the site management organization. The site management
group could be a condo association, a school, a church, a building
management group, a city or county municipality, or simply an individual
but the liability for the general public is the same. This liability
is becoming ever so important as the ambient RF environment continues
to grow.
 RSI uses real world examples and experiences to bring these issues
into focus with appropriate work practices for the student's understanding.
Radiofrequency Safety International’s “RF Best Management
