How does Industry Canada ensure that radiocommunication and broadcasting installations respect Health Canadas limits for the protection of the public from RF fields?
While the responsibility for developing Safety Code 6 rests with Health Canada, Industry Canada has adopted the same guideline for the purpose of protecting the general public. Industry Canada requires that all proponents and operators ensure that their radiocommunication and broadcasting installations comply with Safety Code 6 at all times. Proponents and operators must also consider the combined effects of nearby installations within the local radio environment. For more information, consult CPC-2-0-03. Furthermore, Industry Canada conducts its own assessments and audits as required. See Questions 25 and 29 for further details.
