What we do
OSC Engineering — Occupational Safety & Compliance Engineering — provides Radio Frequency (RF) Electromagnetic Emissions (EME) technical services to landlords, school districts, local planning departments, and attorneys who need to verify and document compliance with FCC RF exposure limits. We also serve workers who are exposed to RF on the job and wireless carriers and their contractors.
The FCC sets human exposure limits to RF energy under 47 CFR § 1.1310 and details the methods for evaluating compliance in FCC OET Bulletin 65. Wireless operators are required to perform compliance studies — but the property owner or jurisdiction often has no independent way to verify the numbers, the assumptions, or the proposed mitigations.
That’s where we come in. We measure, model, document, and train. We don’t sell carrier services. We don’t take referral fees from operators. The report you get is the report that holds up.
Who we work with
Four primary client groups, each with a different need but the same underlying question: “Should I be worried about these antennas?”
- Landlords — anyone hosting or considering hosting cellular equipment on their property. That includes residential owners, churches and other faith buildings, office buildings, hotels, shopping centers, water towers / tanks, billboard structures, industrial and warehouse property, hospitals and clinics, self-storage facilities, parking structures, HOAs and condo associations. The lease pays — but the liability if compliance lapses sits with the property.
- School districts facing parent or community concerns about cell sites near schools, especially when a new lease, modification, or co-location is proposed.
- Local planning departments & municipalities — planners, zoning boards, and elected officials who need an independent technical opinion on proposed wireless installations during permitting review.
- Attorneys representing landlords, school districts, or jurisdictions in lease negotiations, permitting disputes, or community concerns. We provide the engineering input that attorneys need to negotiate or defend from a position of knowing what the report actually says.
We also serve workers exposed to RF on the job — HVAC, roofing, antenna riggers, building maintenance, and anyone working near transmitting equipment. Compliance training is what moves a site from General Population/Uncontrolled limits to Occupational/Controlled limits.
And wireless operators & contractorswho want a third-party compliance study, RF safety training for crews, or an independent review of a site they’re inheriting.
Our president
Craig VanDyke, President,leads OSC Engineering. He’s spent his career inside the FCC RF compliance world — reading the rules, walking the sites, and translating dense regulatory language into mitigations people can actually execute. He knows the difference between an Occupational/Controlled environment and a General Population/Uncontrolled environment matters not in theory but in the very specific question of who’s standing on which side of the lockout when the antenna is energized.
That’s the kind of detail an annual compliance study should catch — and most of the time it doesn’t.
The OSC Engineering promise
- Independent. No carrier equity, no kickbacks. We work for whoever wrote the check.
- Rules-cited. Every report quotes the applicable FCC, OSHA, and ANSI/IEEE provisions so a reader can verify the work.
- Plain-English.The 47 CFR is a hard read. The OSC Engineering report isn’t.
- Photo-documented.If we said the antenna is 14’ from the walking surface, we show you the photo with the tape measure.
