WELCOA Shares Reports From National Scientists To Help Your Employees Stay Safe While Using Cell Phones.

In 2008, Dr. Ronald Herberman of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute issued a memo to his staff entitled “Precautionary Advice Regarding Cell Phone Use.” His policy for employees was designed to limit their exposure to the electromagnetic radiation that's emitted from cell phones. Although the evidence is far from conclusive, many highly-accredited scientists and health professionals believe that the health-risk data on cell phone use is now sufficient enough to alert the public to the possibility of harm—especially since simple measures can be taken to continue using cell phones while substantially reducing the potential risks.

WELCOA has collected some of these practical suggestions from experts Ronald B. Herberman MD and Devra Davis PhD, MPH, so that you can share important tips for safe cell phone use with your employees and their families.
