Description
This unit describes the skills required to measure and analyse radio frequency radiation, including microwaves, radar and radio transmissions, and to develop relevant safety plans and procedures. This includes developing and drafting policy, procedures and plans/instructions for the management, amelioration and/or control of radio frequency radiation in the workplace.This unit was developed for Defence workers involved in developing radio frequency safety plans as a workplace responsibility, but is applicable to all individuals who work in this field.The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.Those undertaking this unit would work independently or as part of a team, under indirect supervision. They must be able to use discretion and judgement and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs. They would perform complex tasks in a range of familiar contexts.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
