| (1) | Risk Assessment should cover the following aspects in the report— |
| • | Description of the process, operations and activities, buildings, licensing, safety distances. |
| • | Identification of safety critical equipment, materials (explosives) and explosive devices. |
| • | Identification of risks (hazards) of the explosives and operational control devices. |
| • | Determination of the immunity to RF for the various explosives, devices, and control equipment. |
| • | Determination of the exclusion zones for the various explosives, devices, and control equipment. |
| • | Severity (fatalities, injuries, damage) of any incident caused by RF from any of the intentional and unintentional transmitters (Qualitatively using a risk matrix or quantitatively with calculations). |
| • | Likelihood of incidents caused by RF radiation (this will be based on the exclusion distance determined e.g. zero distance). |
| • | Risk assessment results (see Table 5 below). |
| • | Risk evaluation to assess the acceptability (see Table 5 below). |
| • | Risk treatment (see Table 5 below). |
| • | Conclusions and recommendations (see Table 5 below). |
| • | Appendix containing the ‘Technical Construction File’ which contains all relevant information of the installation, process, products that were evaluated. |
