Abstract
Potential non-ionizing radiation hazards exist in many occupational settings. Welding arcs, radio frequency heaters, incandescent filaments, gas discharge lamps, lasers, and large hot surfaces can cause injury, and may need to be evaluated. Some of the situations are covered by state and federal regulations. Evaluation and control often involve practical “rules of thumb” whose ancestry can be traced to scientific data and practical experience.
