Nowadays, non-ionising radiation (NIR) is widely used in a diverse range of industrial, medical, telecommunication, defense, agricultural, entertainments and broadcasting, household and office appliances. It is a legal requirement to protect employees and members of the public from the possible health hazards associated with exposure to non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation.

The course will present the basic understanding of non-ionising radiation and wide spectrum of non-ionising radiation aspect to avoid misconception and misunderstanding. It will provide information on hazards, together with the physics of human interaction and will teach you how to achieve compliance with safe guidelines by learning how to

assess measure and control the potential harmful exposure to electromagnetic radiation.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

This course will enable you to:

Understand the effects of electromagnetic absorption in humans
Lear n how to assess potential hazards
Discover the measurement procedures involved
