RF Safety Training by Tonex Training Experts

rf-radio-frequency-safety-training-1-638-1bwpdi6

RF Safety Training covers RF theory of operations, regulations and RF standards, types of radiation and field effect, Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) at RF sites, RF safety signs, hazard assessment, Lock out – Tag out procedures and Personal Protective equipment. RF Safety training is for anyone who may encounter RF fields or RF exposure, and is required training for employees and sub-contractors in the telecommunications industry.

What are “radiofrequency” and microwave radiation? 

 Electromagnetic radiation consists of waves of electric and magnetic energy moving together (i.e., radiating) through space at the speed of light.  Taken together, all forms of electromagnetic energy are referred to as the electromagnetic “spectrum.”  Radio waves and microwaves emitted by transmitting antennas are one form of electromagnetic energy.  They are collectively referred to as “radiofrequency” or “RF” energy or radiation. Note that the term “radiation” does not mean “radioactive.”  Often, the terms “electromagnetic field” or “radiofrequency field” may be used to indicate the presence of electromagnetic or RF energy. The RF waves emanating from an antenna are generated by the movement of electrical charges in the antenna. Upon completion of the RF safety training course, the attendees will learn about:

Renewable energy

Renewable energy is making its move. Eighteen percent of all electricity in the United States was produced by renewable sources in 2017, including solar, wind and hydroelectric dams. That’s up from 15 percent in 2016. According to data released by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), by the end of 2017, global renewable generation capacity increased by 167 GW (gigawatts) and reached 2,179 GW worldwide. This represents a yearly growth of around 8.3 percent, the average for seven straight years in a row. According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the Department of Energy, renewable energy is important because of:

Root Cause Analysis For Supervisors, Learn RCA Best Tools and Methods

What is Root Cause Analysis? Root Cause Analysis is acronymic as RCA. Unlike other methodologies, root cause analysis (RCA) is in general more successful when there’s a small, focused team involved in looking for answers. A root cause analysis is an approach, process used to discover the primary source of a problem. RCA has become a popular methodology for companies stern about resolving issues that negatively impact their bottom line. Why Root Cause Analysis For Supervisors ? It’s not bizarre to have a supervisor lead an RCA team comprises of communication staff, research staff and personnel from the department or departments being affected by a serious problem. How to Conduct Root Cause Analysis ? The main goal of RCA is to identify the root cause of the problem. The first and possibly most important step is to identify possible causal factors.  The RCA team should set the vision, identify the problem and collect as much data as need to better understand the situation. That data...
