We have had both, Inquiries into our wireless design decisions by staff and students and have had protestors on campus against the use of "Wireless". The protestors were vague on which "wireless" standard they were referring to, eg. cell vs wifi., but to them the argument was the same. In several instances on Campus with staff having concerns, we pointed our health and safety persons to several articles which have been covered by this thread, but since you are from Canada, I have also included the "Canadian" prespective in relation to Health Code 6 provided by the government of Canada. This government report is just additional information we have used to calm the waters per se.
http://publications.gc.ca/collections/collection_2010/parl/XC62-403-1-1-03-eng.pdf We also talked directly with Health Canada's technical contact on clarification of Health Canada's Code 6 guidelines. As far as for our vendor (Aruba), their stance is that they have the device certified by Canadian standards bodies and they provided us a copy of the certificate itself. No real declaration. Of course, this can be challenged as it was with the protestors, that the Government lies to everyone on just about everything. I have several more references if you are interested, but I think the main ones are listed in this thread. We can speak off-line if you have additional questions. Good Luck.
