OSHA, which lists RF as a hazardous environment, mandates training to teach employees and contractors how to work safely in an RF environment. In response, UTC Spectrum Services is proud to offer PeopleSafe™ Training - a complete RF Health and Safety training program that covers biological hazards, safety procedures, antennas, standards and regulations and personal RF monitors.
