EMF and public safety

OFCOM is consulting about the dangers of exposure to RF by the general public. 

It is intending to add something in the licence to make clear that radio amateurs have to ensure the public is safe. 

OFCOM and the RSGB are working on calculators so that amateurs can work out if the RF produced is likely to be a danger. 

Being able to show how any potential danger was worked out could be important if a station was to be inspected, for example in the event of interference to a neighbour's TV.
