| FCC DECLINES TO RECONSIDER ITS HUMAN EXPOSURE TO RF RULES |
The FCC has declined to open an Inquiry into updating
its human exposure to RF signals rules. In particular, the
petitioner in this case wanted the Commission to consider possible health hazards not covered by the current rules, including non-thermal effects and the effects of long-term low-level RF exposure.
The FCC dismissed the petition, arguing that any such
evidence should be presented to other (more appropriate) expert agencies. Furthermore, the Commission noted that its current human exposure rules have recently been upheld, in the face of
similar arguments, by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.

WASHINGTON-The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has
expanded its tower safety program to several Eastern states, another
move by federal officials to curb the unusually high rate of deaths
and injuries in the tower industry.
The Philadelphia regional office of OSHA, which oversees
Pennsylvania, Delaware, West Virginia, Maryland, the District of
Columbia and Virginia, said it has begun offering partnerships to
communications structure contractors.
OSHA said eligibility requires tower contractors to implement a
safety and health program, train employees, complete a work-site
evaluation with assistance from OSHA, use 100-percent fall protection
where required by OSHA standards, and comply with OSHA Instruction
CPL 2-1.36 . OSHA said owners of communication towers
must agree to have a competent person evaluate their structures for
potential hazards when employee access is predictable.
