The present disclosure discloses an electromagnetic radiation safety control method, which belongs to the field of wireless communication technologies. The method includes: a terminal obtains a transmit power threshold according to a service requirement of service transmitted with a base station, performs a step of detecting a relationship between a beam direction and a position of a human body when a relationship between a current transmit power of the terminal and the transmit power threshold meets a specified condition, and reports safety control information to the base station when it is detected the relationship between the beam direction and the position of the human body meets a predetermined relationship, so as to instruct the base station to perform a control operation related to electromagnetic radiation safety.
