By having the microwave ovens on your premises inspected by Microwave Safety Systems, your organisation has ensured that the radiation levels are within the recommended limits and has reduced any ” Perceived Risk of Injury” arising from microwave radiation.
If the microwave is leaking radiation above the limit and we are unable to make any adjustments to reduce the radiation levels, we will place a “DO NOT USE” sticker on the unit and inform the contact.Please note that we do not perform any repairs but may be able to make small adjustment such as tightening accessible screws or realigning doors.
No, Radiation leakage is measured in Milliwatts/cm sq. This can only be measured by having the units tested using an advanced microwave survey meter.
Tests have shown that microwaves not showing any obvious signs of physical damage can leak radiation above the recommended limit. Units tested have been found to leaks of up to 20 times above the limit.
