Which group is allowed at the highest level of exposure according to the regulations?

The highest level of exposure is permitted for industry workers because they are trained and informed about the potential hazards associated with their work environment, including exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) and other safety risks. Regulations recognize that these workers have received proper training and understand how to mitigate risks, allowing them to safely operate within environments that may expose them to higher levels of radiation or other environmental factors related to telecom towers.

In contrast, the general public, untrained personnel, and emergency responders typically have restrictions to lower exposure levels. The general public is not trained to handle potential hazards and thus has strict limits to protect their health. Untrained personnel, by definition, lack the knowledge and experience needed to safely navigate environments with higher exposure risks. Emergency responders may work in hazardous conditions without extensive training specific to telecommunications equipment, but still, their exposure limits are more conservative compared to those of industry workers, as they are not regularly in such environments. Therefore, industry workers are the group that can operate under higher exposure allowances based on their training and the understanding of safety protocols.
