Personal Safety
Training
The training of any personnel who will have physical access to the site or the transmitter is very
important. Personnel must be familiar with the transmitter, so that they can avoid physical danger, and
be aware of hazards to themselves and the equipment.
Nautel offers a number of training courses covering the basic fundamentals of RF systems and
transmitters, and the operation and maintenance of the transmitter. For more information about
available courses and schedules, go to the Nautel website at
http://www.nautel.com/Training.aspx , or
ask your Nautel sales representative.
Site Orientation
When you give personnel access to the transmitter site (e.g., hiring new personnel, or giving access keys
to personnel), perform a site orientation to ensure that they are familiar with the site, on-site
procedures, and on-site hazards. Cover the following topics:
 Securing the site (locking doors and fences) to prevent unauthorized access
 How and when to call for technical support or emergency assistance
 Areas of the site and pieces of equipment that are off limits
