STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR COMMUNICATION SITES SIGNAGE
FIGURE A-11 SITE GUIDELINES PLACARD
• Notice
The notice sign is used to distinguish the boundary between
the General Population/Uncontrolled and the Occupational/
Controlled areas. This boundary will usually be the fence
for the property, gate entrance, or roof door to the
equipment room. The limits associated with this
notification must be less than the Occupational/Controlled
MPE. All sites have standard guidelines posted that must be
obeyed and understood by all workers. These guidelines
will ensure the area is maintained below Occupational/
Controlled MPE. EME awareness training is recommended
for all workers.
FIGURE A-12 NOTICE SIGN
• Caution
The caution sign identifies RF controlled areas where RF
exposure can exceed the Occupational/Controlled MPE.
Generic guidelines apply in all situations and will be posted
at all sites; however, site specific guidelines may be
associated with some areas to ensure work is always
performed in compliance with the FCC guidelines. Such
site specific guidelines may require reduction of RF power
before work begins or the use of RF protective clothing. In
all cases workers shall not enter and work in these areas
without understanding and obeying the necessary
procedures. All authorized workers for RF controlled areas
must have EME awareness training.
