There's a useful calculator at <http://n5xu.ae.utexas.edu/rfsafety/> 
that will help you determine if you are in compliance with FCC regulations.

Having said that, I believe that the standards for RF safety at HF are 
ridiculous -- FAR too restrictive.  I have NEVER seen an actual report 
of anyone being harmed by radiated HF RF (microwaves are a different 
matter), or any studies demonstrating that HF RF -- even at 'amps 
subscriber power levels' -- is in the slightest bit dangerous.
