Tower Worker RF Safety & Bloodborne Pathogens Bundle

This comprehensive bundle combines the Tower Worker RF Safety course (RF1002 - English) and the Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP) course. The Tower Worker RF Safety course provides essential knowledge and best practices for safe RF exposure management in tower work environments. The Bloodborne Pathogens course focuses on understanding and preventing the risks associated with bloodborne pathogens in various occupational settings. Together, these courses equip participants with the necessary skills and awareness to ensure safety and compliance in the workplace.
