RF Radiation Safety Officer—Level 2 (RFRSO2)
21-22 September 2026
The aim of this Level 2 Radio Frequency Radiation Safety Officer (RFRSO) course is to provide a qualitative level of understanding of the principles of RF radiation safety practice to meet the needs of Australian/International standards for a RF radiation safety officer or Defence Level 2 RF Radiation Safety Officer (RFRSO2). The two days of the course cover an introduction to the electromagnetic spectrum, RF propagation, and antennas; the health effects of RF and RF radiation safety; an introduction to the ARPANSA RF exposure standard; an introduction to RF measurement and computation and RF survey; and the application of RF safety policies, procedures and plans. This course is suited to those who supervise operators and maintainers of radio transmitting devices, to qualify them to a level where they are competent to implement safety plans and safety procedures. This course is also suited to those with more general health and safety responsibilities for workplaces where radio transmitters are present.
RF Radiation Safety Officer—Level 1 (RFRSO1)
29 September – 1 October 2026
This Level 1 Radio Frequency Radiation Safety Officer (RFRSO) course provides a quantitative level of understanding of the principles of RF radiation safety practice to meet Australian/International standards for a RF radiation safety officer or Defence Level 1 RF Radiation Safety Officer (RFRSO1). The first two days of this qualification is attained through attendance at our Level 2 RFRSO (RFRSO2) Course. This three-day course then builds on Level 2 competencies and knowledge with a detailed coverage of RF calculations and the application of the ARPANSA exposure standard to continuous wave and pulsed RF sources, RF radiation test and measurement, computation and uncertainty in accordance with the measurement standard AS/NZS2772.2-2016; and an extensive practicum involving a number of RF radiation survey exercises (attendees are encouraged to bring their own measuring probes/equipment).
