Professional work near base station antennas on rooftops
A mobile phone system includes base stations, which use radio signals to communicate with mobile phones. Base station antennas, which both transmit and receive radio waves, are installed on masts, rooftops, facades and other suitable locations. In some cases, professional workers may need to carry out their work near base station antennas. For example, chimney sweeps, sheet metal workers and plumbers may need to work on a rooftop where there are antennas. Similarly, painters and window cleaners may need to work near antennas on building facades. TechSverige, together with member companies, has developed guidelines for how such work should be carried out to ensure that radio wave limits for professional workers are not exceeded.
