In today’s tech-saturated world, Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Energy (RF EME) is everywhere—from mobile phone towers and Wi-Fi routers to smart meters and industrial antennas. While most regulatory bodies claim current exposure levels are safe, growing independent research suggests it’s time to look deeper.
At Sherm, we’re always thinking ahead for our clients. That’s why we’ve just released a new RF EME Awareness Procedure and Risk Assessment Template as part of our commitment to emerging risk management.
⚠️ The Science Isn’t Settled—But the Risk Is Real
Regulatory bodies like ARPANSA and ICNIRP base exposure limits on thermal effects (tissue heating). However, independent research—including the BioInitiative Report and studies published in peer-reviewed journals—highlights non-thermal biological effects such as:
-
Oxidative stress
-
Sleep disturbance
-
DNA damage
-
Neurological changes
-
Increased cancer risk
These effects have been observed at exposure levels well below current “safe” limits.
📋 What Sherm Clients Can Access Now
Our new RF EME document pack includes:
-
A practical RF EME Awareness Procedure aligned with WHS obligations
-
A ready-to-use Risk Assessment Template for evaluating site-based exposure
-
A contrast between ARPANSA/ICNIRP standards and precautionary guidelines recommended by the BioInitiative Report
These documents are perfect for organisations working near high-frequency zones or simply wanting to stay ahead of emerging compliance expectations.
🧭 Leading with Precaution
While there may be no official consensus yet, the principle of “better safe than sorry” has never been more relevant. Proactive management of RF EME exposure isn’t just smart risk governance—it’s responsible leadership in health and safety.
