Where I live they have installed 5G antennas on telephone poles in residential areas, right next to homes. The first clue is they install a new pole next to an existing pole. The new pole is a few feet taller to accommodate the 5G. The antenna boxes are a lot smaller than the previous types. I've asked people who live near these poles if they know they are 5G antennas and they have no clue. The only indication is a small Verizon sticker on the pole.
I watched the video. I am seeing workers who have no clue about high RF and antenna safety, and ignore warning signs.
I am not seeing a particular "5G" problem.
The guy on the video said he got his hands burned on an antenna. Yeah - you touch a hot antenna, you are going to get burned.
Maybe in the haste of trying to put up all of these 5G antennas, they are putting workers out there who don't understand the hazards of working around high power antennas.

That's what I don't understand about 5G.
They claim the 5G waves cannot penetrate human skin, but apparently it will be strong enough to penetrate the walls of residential homes to provide internet or cell access?
How does that make any sense?
I'm a little confused on the capability of the newer 5G tech.
It's alleged that 5G isn't strong enough to penetrate human skin, BUT 5G is suppose to be able to penetrate metal & glass cars for future automated driving options. How exactly does that work?
If 5G can't penetrate human skin, then how is it going to penetrate the walls of buildings to provide internet or cell access?
Does not 4G penetrate glass and WiFi penetrates walls?
5G uses higher frequencies but shorter wavelengths so there will be a need for more towers closer together or mini-towers on buildings, light poles, etc.
The health concerns is that people will now be closer to the sources and will be more exposed to electromagnetic radiation.
Now do they know what that will do ? Not really as we have no history of this type of exposure.
When it comes to EMF radiation..distance gives us protection..the simple law of physics.
The U.S. has seen a doubling of thyroid cancer in recent years and increases in certain types of brain cancer. Are cellphones and cell towers to blame?
Not possible, the wavelength of cell signals are too wide, 5g included
You need much much higher frequencies to cause cellular/DNA damage. Humans have evolved to live with these mild energy waves, we'd all be dead by now if we didn't
