EH&S Radiation Safety │ Non-ionizing Radiation Safety Manual │ June 2017 Page 6 of 45 The number of waves that pass a fixed point during an interval of time is referred to as the wave frequency (f or the Greek letter ν). Frequency is measured by counting the number of waves that pass a fixed point in one second.

Title: NRP01 – Non-Ionizing Radiation Program. Resp. Office: Research. Safety Affairs. Effective Date: 9/10/2020. Category: Radiation Safety.

The goal of the UCI Non-ionizing Radiation Safety Program is to provide reasonable and adequate guidance for the safe use of NIR sources by all personnel who can be impacted by them on campus; this includes faculty, staff, students, visitors, and the general public.

The NIH Non-Ionizing Radiation Program (NIRP) is intended to minimize occupational exposure to NIR by: a) Providing employee information regarding the recognition, evaluation and control of the

Non-ionizing radiation includes the spectrum of ultraviolet (UV), visible light, infrared (IR), microwave (MW), radio frequency (RF), and extremely low frequency (ELF). Lasers commonly operate in the UV, visible, and IR frequencies. Non-ionizing radiation is found in a wide range of occupational settings and can pose a considerable health risk ...

Non-Ionizing Radiation Safety Program Responsible Administrator: Radiation Safety Officer Revised: July 2020 Summary: This section outlines the policy and procedures related to the Non-Ionizing Radiation Safety Program that is administered through the Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) Department.

ICRP aims to provide protection against adverse effects of ionizing radiation “without unduly limiting the benefits associated with their use.” A core concept ...

In general, NIR tends to be less hazardous to humans than ionizing radiation (ionizing radiation has a wavelength of less than 100 nm or a photon energy greater ...

The Non-Ionizing Radiation (NIR) Safety Program is designed to help protect employees, students and the general public from the harmful effects of non-ionizing radiation. Non-ionizing radiation (NIR) refers to electromagnetic radiation that does not have sufficient energy to ionize (remove electrons from) atoms or molecules. Instead the energy is converted to heat, and depending on the exposure time and the energy concentration of the radiation, it can lead to burns.

Safety Always Award. Non-ionizing radiation (NIR) permeates the world around us and exists in many forms on the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves to near-ultraviolet radiation. Fortunately, in contrast to ionizing radiation, NIR lacks sufficient energy to remove electrons from atoms and molecules and is generally perceived as less harmful.

safety policy and procedural requirements of the program. The use of the term non-ionizing radiation in this document is defined as meaning non-ionizing radiation produced as a result of normal equipment use and which is at such a level that is recognized as harmful to humans. NOTE: This procedure does not cover non-ionizing radiation generated ...
