2 Regulafiory Basts
2.1 FCC Rules ancf RegulatEons
In 199b, ihe Federal Commun�cation Commission {FCC) adopted regulations for
the evaluating of the effects of RF emissians in 47 CFR § 1.1307 and 1.1310. The
guideline from the FCC OFfice oF Engineering and Technology is Bulletin 65 ("OET
Bulle#in 65"j, Evatuating Comp(iance with FCC Guidelines for Numan Exposure to
Radio FrequencyFJectromagnetic Fiefds, Ediiion 47-Qf, published August
1997. Since 1996 the FCC periodically review5 these rules and regulations as per
fheir congressional mandaie.
FCC regulations define twa 5eparate tiers of exposure limits: Occupational or
"Controlled environment" and General Public or "Uncontrolled environment". The
General Public limits are generally five times more conseroative or restrictive than
the Occupational limit. These iimits apply to accesslbfe oreas where workers or fhe
general public may be exposed to Radio Frequency (RFj electromagnetic �+elds.
Occupational or Controlled limits apply in situations in which persons are exposed
as a cansequence of their errtployment and where those persons exposed have
been made fully aware of the potential For exposure and can exercise control over
lheir expasure.
An area is considered a Controlled environment when access is limited to these
aware personnel. Typical criteria are restricted access (i.e. locked or alarmed
doors, barriers, etc.} to the areas where antennas are located coupled with proper
RF waming signage. A site wiih Controlled environments is evaluated with
Occupational I:mits.
All other areas are considered Uncontrolled env(ronments. If a site has no access
controls or no RF waming signage it is evaluated with General Public limits.
The theoretical modeling of the RF electromagnetfc fields has been performed in
accordance with OET Bulletin 65, ihe Maximum Permis5ible Expasure (MPEJ limits
utilized in this analysis are outlined �n the following diagram:

2.2 OSHA Stateme�
The Generpl Duty clause of the OSHA Act (5ection 5) outlines the occupational
safety and health responsib7ifies of the employer and employee. The General Dufiy
clause in Section 5 states:
ja) Each employer -
(1 j shall fumish to each of his employees emplayment and a
ploce of employment which a�e free from recognized hazards
that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical
harm to his employees;
{2� shall comply wiih occupational safety and health standards
promulgated under this Act.
jb) Each employee shall comply with occupational safety and health standards
and all rules, regulations, and orders issued pursuant to this Act which are
applicable to his own actions and conduct.
OSHA has defined Radiofrequency and Microwave Radiation safety standards for
workers who may enter hazardous RF areas. Regulation Standards 29 CFR §
1910,147 identify a generic Lock Out Tag Out procedure aimed ta control the
unexpected energization or start up of machines when maintenance or service is
being performed.

4 Safety Plan and Frocedures
The following items are general saFety recommendations that should be
administered on a site by site basis as needed by the carrisr.
General Maintenance W�Ic: Any maintenance personnel required to work
immediately in front of antennas and / or in areas indicated as above 1�°6 af the
Occupational MPE limits should coordinate with the wirefess operators to disabte
lransmitters during their work activit(es.
Tralnina and QuallficaNan Veriftcation: All personnel occessing areas indicated as
exceeding the General Papulation MPE limits should have a basic understanding
of EME awareness and RF Safefiy pracedures when working around firansmitting
antennas. Awareness training increases a workers understanding to potential RF
exposure scenarios. Awareness can be achieved in a number of ways (e.g.
videos, Farmak classroorn lecfure or intemet based covrses) .
Phvstcal Acceas Conhol; Access restrictions to transmitting antennas locafions is
the primary element in a site safety plan. Examples of access restrictions are as
fb��OWS:
• Locked door or gate
• Alarmed door
• Locked ladder access
• RestrictNe Barrier at antenna (e.g. Chain ifnk with posted RF SignJ
RF Siqnage: Everyone should obey all posted signs at all times. RF signs play an
important role in properly waming a worker prior to entering into a potential RF
Exposure area.
A u e a t nn are : Due to the nature of telecommunications
transmissions, an antenna transmits intermittently. Always assume an antenna is
transmitting. Never stop in front of an antenna. If you have to pass by an an#enna,
move through as quickly and safely as possible thereby reducing any exposure to
a minimum.
Mainiain a 3 foot clearance�ram all antenr� There is a direct correlation
between the strength of an EME field and the distonce from the fransmitting
antenna. 'ifie f�xther away from an antenna, the lower the corresponding EME
field is.
Sffe RF Emisstons Diagram= Sec#ion 5 af this report con#ains an RF Diagram that
outlines variovs theoretical Maximum Permissible Exposure jMPE) areas at the site.
The madeling is a worst case scenario assuming a du#y cycle of 100%a for each
transmitting antenna at full power. This analysis is based on one of two acces5
cantroi criferia: General Public criteria means the access to the site is uncontrolled
and anyone can gain access. Occupational criterip means the access is
restricted and only properly trained indivicluals can gain access to the antenna
locations.

5 Analysis
5.1 RF Emissions Diagram
The RF diagram(s) below display theoteticai spatially averaged percentage of the
Maximum Pemtiissibie Exposure for pll systems at ihe site unless otherwise noted.
These diagrams use modeling as prescribed in OET Bulletin 65 and assumptions
detailed in Appendix B.
The key at the bottom of each diagram indicates iF percentages displayed are
referenced to FCC General Population Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPEj limits.
Color coding an the diagram is as fallows:
• Gray represents areas predicted to be at 5% of the MPE limits, or belaw.
• Green represents areas predicted to be belween S% and 100i'a of the MPE
limits.
• Blue represents areas predicted to be between 100% and 500� of the MPE
limits.
• Yellow represenis areas predicted to be between 5009'o and 50�3'0 of the MPE
limits.
• Red areas indicated predicted levels greater fhan 5000% of the MPE limits.
General Population diagrams are specified when an area is accessible to the
public; i.e. personnel that do not meet Occupationol or RF Safety trained criteria,
could gain access.
If trained occupational personnei require occess fo areas that are delineated as
Blue or above 1009b of !he limit, Sitesafe recommends that they utilize the proper
personal pro#ection equipment {RF monitars), coordinate with the carriers to
reduce or shutdown power, or make real-time power density measurements with
the appropriate power density meter to determine rea!-time MPE levels. This wil)
allow the personnel to ensure that their work area is within exposure limits.
The key at the bottom also indicates the level or height of the modeling wifih
respect to the main level. The origin is typically referenced to the main rooftop
level, or ground level for a structure without access to the antenna level. For
example:
Averoge from 0 feet above ta b feef above origin
and
Average from 20 feet obove to 26 feet above origin
The fir�t indicates modeling at the main rooffop (or ground} levek averaged over 6
feet. The second indicates modeling at a higher level (possibly a penthouse level)
of 20 feet averaged over 6 feet.

Appendix A- Statement of Limiting Conditions
Sitesafe will no1 be responsible for matters of a legal nature that affect the site or
property.
Due to the complexity of some wireless sites, Sitesafe perfarmed this anolysis and
created this reporf utilizing best industry practices and due difgence. Sitesafe
cannot be held accountable or responsible for anomalies or discrepancies due ta
actual site conditians (i.e., mislabeling of antennas or equipment, inaccessible
cable runs, inaccessible antennas or equipment, etc.j or inFormation or data
supplied by T-Mobile, fhe site manager, or their affiliates, subcontractors or assigns.
Sitesafe has provided computer generated modei(sj in thi5 Site Compliance Repo�t
to shaw opproximote dimensions of the 5'ste, and the model is included to assi5t the
reader of the comptiance report to vi5ualize the site area, and io provide
supporting documentation far SitesaFe's recommendations.
Sitescafe may note in the Site Compliance Report any adverse physical conditions,
such as needed repairs, observecf during the survey of the subject property or that
Sitesofe became oware af during the noRnal research involved in performing this
survey. Sitesafe will not be responsible for any such conditions that do exist or for
any engineering or testing that might be required to discover whether such
conditions exist. Because Sitesafe is not an expert in the fi�ld of inechanical
engineering or building maintenance, the Site Compliance Report must not be
considered a structural or physical engineering repart.
Sitesafe obtained information used in this Site Compliance Report from sources that
Sitesafe considers reliable and believes them to be true and coRect. Sitesafe does
not assume any responsibility for the accuracy of such items that were fumished k�y
other parties. When conflicts in information occur befween data provided by a
secand party and physical data collected by Sitesafe, the physical data will be
used.

Appendix B-- Assumptions and Definffions
Genera[ Model Assumptions
In this site compliance report, it is assurned lhat all antennas are operating at full
power at all times. Software modeling was performed for all transmitting antennas
located on the site. Sitesafe has further assumed a 100% duty cycle and maximum
radiated power.
The site has been modeled with these assumptions ta show the maximum RF
energy density. Sitesafe believes this to be a warst case analysis, based on best
available data. Areas modeled to predict emissians greater than l OQ96 of the
appiicable MPE level may not actually occur, but are shown as a wo�t-case
prediction that could be realized real time. Sitesafe belisves these areas to be
safe for entry by occupationally trainec! personnel util'rzing approprtate personal
protective equipment (in most cases, a personal monitor).
Thus, at any time, if power density measurements we�e made, we believe the real-
time measuremenfs would indicate levels below those depicted in the RF emission
diogram(sj in ihis reporf. By modeling in ihis way, Sitesafe has conservalively shown
exclusion areas -- areas that should not be entered without the use of a personal
monitor, car�ers reducing pawer, or performing real-time measurements to
indicate real-time exposure levels.
Use af Generic Antennos
For the purposes of this report, the use of "Generic" as an antenna model, or
"Unknown" for an operator means the inforrnation about a carcier, their FCC
license and/or antenna information was not provided and could not be obtained
while on site. In the event of unknown information, Sitesafe will use our indusiry
specific knowledge of equipment, antenna models, and transmit powet to model
the site. If more speci#ic informatian can be obtained for the unknown
measurement criieria, Sitesafe recommends remodeling of the site utilizing the
more complete and accurate data. Infarmation about similar facilities is used
when the service is identified and associated with a particular antenna. If no
infarrnation is available regarding the transmitting service associated with an
unidentified antenna, using the antenna manufacturer's published data regarding
the antenna's physical charr�cteristics makes more conservative assumptions.
Where the frequency is unknown, Sitesafe uses the closest �requency in the
antenna's resnge ihat corresponds to the highest Maximum Permissible Exposure
(MPE}, resulting in a canservative analysis.

AppendUc C- Rules 8� Regulations
Expfanatlon of Applicable Rules and Regulations
The FCC has set forth guidelines in OEi Bulietin 65 for human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic fields. Specific regulations regarding this topic are
listed in Part l, Subpart I, of Ttle 47 in the Code of Federal Regulations. Currently,
there are two d'+fferent levels of MPE - General Public MPE and Occupafional MPE.
An individual classified as Occupotional can be defined as an individual who has
received appropriate RF training and meets the cond'stions outlined below.
General Public is defined as anyone who does not meet ihe conditions of being
Occupational. FCC and OSHA Rules and Regulations define campliance in terms
of total exposure to total RF energy, regardless oF location of or proximity to the
sources of energy.
It is the respon5ibility of all licensees to ensure these guidelines are maintained at all
times. It is the ongoing responsibility of all liceruees composing the site to maintain
ongoing compliance with FCC rules and regulati�ns. Individuai licensees that
contribute less than 5� MPE to any total area oui of compliance are not
responsible for coReclive actions.
OSHA has adapted and enforces the FCC's exposure guidelines. A building owner
or site manager can use this reporf as part of an overall RF Health and Safety
Policy. It is important for building owners/site managers to identify areas in excess
of the Genera! Population MPE and ensure that only persons qualified os
Occupational are granted access to those areas.
Occupational Environment Explained
The FCC de�nition of Occupational exposure limits appiy to pe�sons who:
• are exposed to RF energy as a consequence of their employment;
• have been made aware of the possibility of exposure; and
• can exe�cise control over their exposure.
4SHA guideline5 go further to state ihat persons must complete RF Safety
Awareness training and must be trained in the use of appropriate personal
protective equipment.
In order to con5ider this site an Occupational Environment, the site must be
controlled to prevent access by any individuals classifed as the General Public.
Compliance is also maintained when any non-accupational individuals (the
General Public} are prevented fram accessing areas indicated as Red or Yellow in
the attached RF Emissions diagram. In additEan, a person must be aware of #he RF
environrnent into which they are entering. This can be accomplished by an RF
Safety Awareness class, and by appropriote written documentation svch as this
Site Compliance Report.
All T-Mobile employess who require access to this site must complete RF Safety
Awareness training and mu5t be trained in the use of apprapriate personal
protective equipment.

The following are general recommendations oppropriate for any site with
accessible areas in excess of €00%General Public MPE. ihese recommendations
are not specific to this site. These are safely recommendations appropriate tor
typical site management, building management, and other tenant operatGons.
1. All individuals needing acce5s to the main site (or the area indicated io be in
excess of General Public MPE) should wear a personal RF Exposure monitor,
successfully complete proper RF Safety Awa�eness training, and have and be
trained in the use of appropriate peRonal protective equipment.
2. ASI individuals needing acce5s ta the main site should be instructed to read and
obey all posted placards and signs.
3. The site should be routinely inspected and ihi5 or similar report updated with the
addifion of any antennos or upan any changes to the RF enviranment including:
• adding new antennas that may have been lacated on the site
• �emoving of any existing antennas
• changes in the rad�ating power or number of RF emitters
4. Post the appropriate NOTICE, CAUiION, or WARNING sign at the main site access
point(s) and other locations as required. Note: Please refer to RF Exposure

7. For an Occupational environment the four color levels identifisd in this analysis
con be interpreted in the fallawing manner.
• Areas indicateci as Gray are at 59b of the Occupotionai MPE limits or below.
This level is sa#e for a worker to be in at any time.
• Green represenis areas predicted to be between 59� and 209b of the
Occupational MPE limits. This level is safe for a worker to be in at any time.
• Yellow represents areas predicted to be between 20°� and 100% of the
Qccupational MPE rmits. Onty individuols ihat have been property trained in RF
Health and Safety should be aliowed to work in this area. This is noi an area
that is suitable for the Generat Public to be in.
• Red areas indicated predfcted levels greater lhan 1009& of the Occupational
MPE limits. This level is not safe for the Occupational worker to be in for
prolonged periods of time. Special procedures must be adhered 10 such as
lock out tag out procedures to minimize the workers exposure ia EME.
8. Use of a Personal Protective Monitor: when working around antennas, Sitesafe
strang recomrnends the use of a Personal Protective Monitor (PPM). Wearing a
PPM wil4 properly farewam the individuat prior to entering an RF exposure orea.
Keep a copy of this report available for all persons who must access the site. They
should read this report and be aware of the poteniial hazards with regards to RF
and MPE limits.
