Abstract
This chapter focuses on the philosophy and plans related to safety in the field of radio engineering. Radio engineering is associated with several hazards including high voltages used with high power transmitters, the radio frequency voltages encountered on transmission lines, and antenna systems. The basic philosophy should be to concentrate on the detection of hazards and then to eliminate them as far as possible. This applies to all phases of the work from planning, to design, construction, installation, testing, operations, and maintenance. Safety programs are aimed at preventing workmen injuring themselves and others. It is accomplished through the use of the safeguards supplemented by instruction at regular intervals. The continuing educational program is necessary because the absence of accidents lulls personnel working in hazardous areas or they might be so used to the presence of danger that they are no longer conscious of it. In the development of an emergency organization plan, some of the important actions that management must take are train and periodically check all station personnel in emergency procedures; assign and periodically check specific responsibilities; post emergency instructions in appropriate locations throughout the station; and familiarise personnel who would carry out the emergency plan with the alternative facilities, and test all details of the plan in advance.
