Who inspects or audits radiocommunication and broadcasting installations to ensure compliance with Industry Canada’s regulatory limits?
All proponents and operators of antenna systems are required by Industry Canada to comply with its regulatory limits on an ongoing basis, taking into consideration the local radio environment. Industry Canada also conducts audits to ensure compliance. Our experience from field measurements has demonstrated that, for the vast majority of radiocommunication and broadcasting installations in areas accessible to the general public, the RF field levels are at a very small fraction of the regulatory limits. Therefore, Industry Canada concentrates its auditing efforts in ensuring compliance at congested sites with multiple antennas and sites with one or more high-power transmitters where these sites are in proximity to publicly accessible areas. Industry Canada requires proponents and operators of antenna systems to take immediate action at any site if the Department believes that the regulatory limits are not being respected. Mitigation measures may include area demarcation (signs), accesses
