Many consumer and industrial products and applications make use of some form of electromagnetic energy (EME). One type of EME that is of increasing importance worldwide is radiofrequency (RF) energy, including radio waves and microwaves, which are used for providing telecommunications broadcast and other services. Although RF energy has some important uses, it also poses significant health risks.

This online Radiofrequency Training course explains the risks associate with radiofrequency energy and what can be done to avoid these risks. After completing this course, an understanding should be gained of radiofrequency (RF) energy and radiation, potential RF energy sources, hazard signs, the difference between controlled and uncontrolled exposure to RF energy, the standards and regulations relating to RF radiation, protection from exposure, and RF exposure limit guidelines.

This online Radiofrequency Training course covers the following topics:

• Key Definitions
• How RF is Used
• RF Exposure and Sources of RF Energy
• Physical and Health Hazards
