 Occupational/Controlled Exposure: In general, occupational/controlled exposure limits are

applicable to situations in which persons are exposed as a consequence of their

employment, who have been made fully aware of the potential for exposure and can

exercise control over their exposure. This exposure category is also applicable when the

exposure is of a transient nature due to incidental passage through a location where the

exposure levels may be higher than the general population/uncontrolled limits, but the

exposed person is fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over

his or her exposure by leaving the area or by some other appropriate means. Awareness

of the potential for RF exposure in a workplace or similar environment can be provided

through specific training as part of a RF safety program. If appropriate, warning signs

and labels can also be used to establish such awareness by providing prominent

information on the risk of potential exposure and instructions on methods to minimize

such exposure risks.

 General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure: The general population / uncontrolled

exposure limits are applicable to situations in which the general public may be exposed or

in which persons who are exposed as a consequence of their employment may not be

made fully aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise control over their

exposure. Members of the general public would come under this category when

exposure is not employment-related; for example, in the case of a wireless transmitter that

exposes persons in its vicinity. Warning labels placed on low-power consumer devices

such as cellular telephones are not considered sufficient to allow the device to be

considered under the occupational/controlled category, and the general

population/uncontrolled exposure limits apply to these devices.
