 SafeOne™
Personal RF Monitor Alarms the User, Not the Company's
Controller
Greenville, NC – July 17, 2008. LBA
Technology, Inc. has just brought a breakthrough budget-pleasing
personal RF monitor to market at approximately half
the price of the competition, according to Dick Hansson,
Director of Marketing.
SafeOne™ is an effective and economical means to monitor
the strength of electromagnetic (RF) fields from mobile
phone towers, radio and television installations, high
frequency welders, and other common workplace RF sources
between 10 and 10,000 MHz. The personal RF monitor is
an important tool in complying with FCC, OSHA, and other
safe workplace requirements, Hansson said. According
to Hansson, the monitor is an affordable solution for
tower climbers, radio technicians, and anyone else that
works in the vicinity of radio antennas and devices.
It’s use requires no special training, making it ideal
for non-radio craftsmen such as roofers and window washers.
The monitor provides an audio and visual warning when
the OSHA and ICNIRP limit is exceeded on the wearer's
body. It immediately alerts them to high frequency radiation
fields that could be a health hazard. SafeOne™ gives
an approximate value of RF strength to help determine
how long the worker can stay in the radiation field.
Extremely convenient to wear and use, the SafeOne™ is
the size of a cell phone and weighs less than three
ounces. It ships complete with ballistic nylon work
harness carry pouch and lithium batteries.
The monitor's batteries last over 500 days and
it incorporates a self-test function to be used whenever
the monitor is turned on. Full specifications on the
SI-1000 personal monitor are available at
www.LBAGroup.com/safeone.
Company controllers are sure to welcome the cost-effective
safety solution. Effective last February, OSHA released
a new rule that requires all employers to provide personal
protective equipment for their workers.
The SafeOne™ is offered under an exclusive distribution
agreement with German instrument maker Schomandl, a
unit of the Kathrein Group.
LBA Technology is a leading manufacturer and integrator
of radio frequency systems, components and test equipment
for broadcast, industrial and government users worldwide. With
Lawrence Behr Associates, Inc., the company is a unit
of the LBA Group, Inc. which has over 40 years experience
in providing support for infrastructure assets of the
wireless telecommunications industry. The companies
are based in Greenville, NC.
