Exposure to RF fields is minimized by reducing the energy your body absorbs, which you achieve with three practical methods: increase distance from the source, use shielding to block or attenuate the field, and limit the time you spend near RF sources. Moving away from the RF source lowers the field strength you encounter, often dramatically due to how RF energy spreads with distance. Shielding, such as barriers or enclosure modifications made of appropriate conductive or absorptive materials, reduces the amount of RF energy reaching you. Limiting time near RF sources cuts the total exposure dose you accumulate over a shift. In practice, plan work so personnel stay farther from RF equipment, implement shielding where feasible, and schedule tasks to minimize time spent in the RF field. The other options would either increase exposure or are ineffective for RF safety.
