Workplace health and safety in electromagnetic fields

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

Since 1st July 2016, all EU member states are required to have implemented Directive 2013/35/EU for the protection of persons from electromagnetic fields (EMF) in the workplace in national laws.

As a result, companies throughout Europe must now ensure that employees are not exposed to fields greater than the exposure limits, some of which have been newly defined. This requires monitoring and minimising risk through preventive measures where necessary.

Narda Safety Test Solutions develops and produces intelligent measuring equipment for the demanding measurement tasks needed for this. These precision instruments from the specialist for EMF measurement make it possible for those responsible to record all the field values relevant to a safety assessment complying with the directive in real time without too much effort.

The high quality range comprises wideband and selective measuring devices as well as robust radiation protection monitors that form part of a set of personal protection equipment (PPE). For example, the devices automatically detect the least favorable exposure levels from the biophysical viewpoint in difficult mixed EMF situations in multi-frequency environments. They can then display the result directly as a percentage of the applicable permitted limit value, making interpretation quick and sure.
