| WINS/RSI Develop New
E-learning Courseware for the Wireless Industry |
Recently, WINS & RSI have developed several new E-learning courses designed to assist the wireless industry meet its training obligations. Several new courses and an entire 12 course training module have been developed and implemented to complement existing courseware such as the eight course "RF Site Safety Awareness" training module and multiple online general safety (OSHA) courses.
The new courses include:
- Winter Driving Safety
- Off Road Driving Safety
- Narda XT PPE Training
The twelve course training module is entitled "Telecom Site Safety & Management". Some of the courses contained within the module, which will eventually expand to 18-20 courses are:
- Site Plans, Policies and Procedures
- Site Access & Security
- Lockout Tagout @ Telecom Sites
- Rooftop Safety
- Site Fall Protection & Safety
The new module, while available on a stand alone basis, will also become part of the curriculum for RSI’s blended learning solution for OSHA 10 Hr. & 30Hr. Telecom Construction Certification projected to be available in early 2004.

| FCC Proposes RF Exposure Fines @ Mt. Wilson, Los Angeles, Ca.

(Article Courtesy of MOBILE RADIO TECHNOLOGY Magazine 10-23-03)
FCC proposes $40,000 fine for cumulative RF radiation
For the first time Wednesday, the FCC proposed forfeitures against four licensees for violating the radio frequency radiation maximum permissible exposure limits at a multi-user site where the power density level produced by each individual licensee was within acceptable limits, but the cumulative effect exceeded the limits established by the FCC. The transmitters at issue are located on Mt. Wilson, in Los Angeles, Calif. The Commission proposed a forfeiture of $10,000 for each station -- a total of $40,000.
FCC rules establish maximum permissible exposure (MPE) limits for radio frequency radiation (RFR) from FCC-regulated transmitters. If these limits are exceeded due to the cumulative RFR emissions of multiple transmitters, as at Mt. Wilson, then all of the licensees whose transmitters produce power density levels exceeding 5 percent of the power density exposure limit applicable to their particular transmitter share responsibility for reducing RFR to permissible levels.
FCC agents inspecting the Mt. Wilson transmitter site determined that RFR levels in a publicly accessible area, located about 100 feet from a U.S. Post Office, exceeded the maximum permissible exposure limits by 60.5 percent. Measurements taken by the agents revealed that transmitters for four stations, KBIG-FM, KKBT, KRTH-FM, and KWHY-TV, each were producing RFR power density levels at significantly more than 5 percent of the public RFR MPE limits in this area, an FCC press release alleges. The agents found that the licensees of the four stations failed to take adequate steps to prevent the public from accessing areas that exceeded the RFR exposure limits, the FCC alleges. Shortly after the violation was brought to the stations' attention by the FCC, however, they took steps to limit public access to the area where the RF radiation exceeded the maximum permissible exposure limits.
