WARNING

1-32 WARNING Rf voltages may be induced in ungrounded metal objects such as wire guys, wire cables (hawsers), handrails, or ladders. You could receive a shock or rf burn if you come in contact with these objects. Obtain proper permission prior to going topside or "working aloft." Rf burns are usually deep, penetrating, and third degree. They must heal from the inside out. If you are burned, seek medical attention. A person in an RF field will usually have a body temperature rise. The eyes and reproductive organs are especially susceptible to RF energy. Read and heed all warning signs!
