Roofing workers often are aware of obvious and significant health and safety hazards. A lesser known roofing industry hazard is electromagnetic radiation. The risks associated with this hazard can be debilitating. Electromagnetic radiation consists of electric and magnetic energy waves moving through space at the speed of light. The range of such energy's wavelengths makes up the electromagnetic spectrum. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has published construction industry standards regarding ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, which relate primarily to operating laser equipment but also prohibit employee exposures to microwave densities exceeding 10 milliwatts per square centimeter. Additionally, consensus standard ANSI/IEEE C95.1 contains recommendations developed to protect against electric, magnetic and electromagnetic frequencies in the radiofrequency spectrum.
