Subject: Official Information request - Exposure limits on radio frequencies of 600Mhz and upwards

[You don't often get email from [FOI #32386 email]. Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentific... ]

Dear WorkSafe New Zealand,

I request information on exposure limits in the workplace for radio frequencies. This would be for various radio frequencies 600MhZ and up.

Would you please share the information you have as the workplace regulator under s191 of the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015? For example the watts per square meter exposure limit? or SAR limit?

I requested this info via email to [email address] on 25 August 2025 and have had no response, hence this OIA request

Yours faithfully,

Erika Whittome

please?

 

Yours sincerely,
