What is this risk assessment for?
This risk assessment covers the basics of ElectroMagnetic Fields. In realistic terms - the only NESST Equipment that isn't excluded is Repeater and Mobile Radio (Not Handheld) - as these transmitt on more than 5 watts of power.
All other NESST equipement currently transmitts on less than 5 watts (Handhelds / WiFi etc.) - and is therefore below the power for the HSE guidence

| Risk | Who is at Risk? | Actions | By Who |
|---|
| Electromagnetic Fields | Everyone | - Where radios are powered on and can transmit more then 5watt (Repeater / mobile radios) - antennas must be at least 2m away from anyone.
- Where possible - Limit ongoing exposure to ongoing sources of RF - such as having antennas as far away from control desks as practical.

This Risk Assessment is not definitive – and all tasks will be completed whilst also using a dynamic risk assessment for any new risks.
