How do I know the rooftop I have been on is 'in compliance'?

Signage
Look for signage. The following are industry-accepted signs that you may see at a site:




You may also see the '10 points' sign, depicted here:

The fact that signage is present means that someone has taken responsibility to warn potential visitors to the site that RF fields may be or are present that are in excess of the limits prescribed by the FCC. Signage by itself does not make the site compliant, but is a good first step towards allowing for a general awareness of the prescence of RF fields at this rooftop site.

 
 
Site Safety plan
Is there a site safety plan present at the site for you to review? This site safety plan should be contain measures to take at the specific site, in order lessen any potential exposure to RF fields in excess of the FCC prescribed limits. In some cases, the site safety plan may be located at the rooftop egress point, while in others, it may reside with whomever controls access to the rooftop. In either instance, if a site safety plan is present, you should review and understand it prior to accessing the site. A good site safety plan will include specific measures to take, and will list areas that should be avoided or entered only with a personal monitor. It will also likely include measurement results from the rooftop, as well as colored rooftop 'maps', showing areas that should be entered with caution.
