B18: Mobile Phone Base Stations

Synopsis

This guidance provides information for Managing Agents on the Electronic Communications Code and the management of risk where mobile base stations are located on residential premises. Although most mobile base station installations are designed to be ‘safe by design’, in some cases there will be exclusion zones that need to be managed. In all cases employers need to assess the risk of exposure to electromagnetic radiation associated with the equipment and keep a record of the assessment.
