Addressing Concerns About Radio Signals and Health

Overview

The effect of radio transmissions on health has been studied extensively, leading to international standards for network antennas and exposure limits for workers and the public. Despite the ever-growing body of scientific knowledge, many people continue to be concerned about electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and their impact on health.

This three-week course looks at the state of the science, standards for mobile technologies, regulatory compliance and public awareness and education.

Course Objectives

• Understand public concerns and the accumulated knowledge about the health effects of EMFs.
• Learn about internationally accepted safety requirements for radio transmissions.
• Learn how to respond to public safety concerns and increase awareness of the science.

Who should attend this course?

• Individuals who have recently moved into a regulatory position and need to gain insights into people’s concerns about radio signals and health.
• Regulatory or legal professionals who need to respond to public safety concerns and increase awareness of the science.
• Entry and mid-level engineering staff who need to understand the policy and regulatory aspects of radio signals and health.

Course Structure and Study Time

The course consists of six sessions and you will gain access to all of them on the course start date. You will have the opportunity to ask questions about the content of the course during live chat sessions as well as on the course forum. These sessions will take place at 10am UK time on the 15th, 22nd and 29th of September and the 6th of October 2022.

It should not take you more than two to three hours of study time per week to complete the course in four weeks. You will have, however, seven weeks to complete it. If after seven weeks you have not completed the course, you will have to start it again next time it is offered.

If you decide to submit a final project, it will probably take you four to six hours to put it together. You will have seven weeks to submit your final project.

Course Completion Certificates

To qualify for a course completion certificate, you must view all the course sessions and answer correctly all the quiz questions you will find as you progress through the sessions. You will also need to fill out the course survey.

You do not have to complete a final project to earn a course completion certificate but we strongly encourage you to create one. Putting together a final project will give you an opportunity to reflect on the principles covered during the course and help you discover how they could be applied to your own country. If you submit a final project the course trainer will provide you with valuable feedback that you may find useful in your day-to-day work.
