wireless phones and your health

Wireless phones are regulated by federal government standards, which ensure that wireless phones can be used safely by everyone. TELUS Mobility meets or exceeds every standard governing both wireless phones and cell site installations.

Each of TELUS Mobility's wireless installations, or cell sites, are certified to conform to Safety Code 6, a standard administered by Industry Canada. Safety Code 6 sets out requirements governing the safe operation of wireless transmission equipment.

Phones sold by TELUS Mobility meet the latest standards governing radio safety levels. They meet SAR (specific absorption rate) standards set by Health Canada and the Federal Communications Commission in the U.S.

For more information on general questions about wireless health and safety, please refer to: the Wireless Information Resource Centre, www.wirc.org; The Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association: www.cwta.ca; or Industry Canada (Safety Code 6) http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/SSG/sf01636e.html
