We Are Emf Comp
Electromagnetic fields are invisible, easy to misunderstand and covered by law. We measure them, explain what the numbers mean and tell you plainly whether your workplace is safe and compliant. EMF assessment is all we do, and we do it for businesses and organisations only, not for members of the public. Need an EMF survey of your site, an assessment for a new development or an analysis of your equipment? You are in the right place.
Dr Richard Findlay
You want your people to go home safe, and so do we. Strong electromagnetic fields (EMF) can harm health, and the law expects you to know where yours are. The Control of Electromagnetic Fields at Work Regulations 2016 (CEMFAW) apply to every UK employer: you must assess your employees’ exposure against the legal limits and, with five or more employees, put it in writing. The physics is complicated. Getting it done is not. Tell us about your site and we will take care of the assessment for you.
EMFcomp is an award-winning, independent consultancy that does one thing: electromagnetic field safety. It is led by Dr Richard Findlay, a Chartered Radiation Protection Professional with a PhD in electromagnetics and more than thirty years in the field. He is a Fellow of the Society for Radiological Protection (SRP), past Chair of its EMF Safety Committee and the author of over twenty peer-reviewed papers. He also co-authored the European Commission’s practical guide to the EMF Directive. You get the person who helped write the guidance.
More than 500 assessments in, there are few sources we have not met: substations, cables and overhead lines, antennas and transmitters, welders, furnaces and magnets. The chances are we already know your sector. You deal directly with the specialist doing the work. No account managers, no hand-offs, and a report your safety committee can actually read. That is why our client reviews are consistently five-star.
Get EMF compliance wrong and the costs mount quickly: enforcement by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), a damaged reputation, unsettled staff, sick pay, higher insurance premiums and fines. Health and safety fines in the UK are unlimited and regularly reach six figures.
None of that needs to happen. We survey your site, compare every result with the action levels and exposure limit values in the Control of Electromagnetic Fields at Work Regulations 2016 (CEMFAW, SI 2016 No. 588), and give you a plain verdict: compliant or not, and what to do about it. One detailed report, and your legal duty is documented..
EMFcomp is SafeContractor accredited and an Affiliate of the Society for Radiological Protection. Beyond workplace surveys, we model human exposure by computer, investigate electromagnetic interference (EMI) and compatibility (EMC) between systems, and assess radiofrequency (RF) ignition risk to PD CLC/TR 50427 on sites with flammable atmospheres. Tell us what worries you. We will tell you whether it should. The first conversation is free.

Professional Compliance Advice
A wide range of services
Sometimes an assessment shows that something needs to change. When it does, we do not leave you with a problem and a report. We tell you what to do, in order of priority, and use our network of manufacturers and contractors to point you to the right people for shielding, signage or equipment. Often the fix is as simple as moving a workstation.
An independent third party
We sell no equipment and no shielding, so the recommendation you get is the one the measurements support. Nothing more. We explain our findings in plain English, and by the end you will understand the EMF regulations well enough to explain them to your own board.
Working promptly and professionally
We turn work round quickly and fit around your operations, not the other way round. We take particular care over the people the CEMFAW Regulations call “employees at particular risk”: anyone with a pacemaker, implantable defibrillator (ICD) or other implanted medical device, anyone with a metal implant, and expectant mothers. For them the ordinary limits are not the right test, so we assess each case individually and sensitively.
Client Focus & Value
Bring us in at any stage: early design, planning, construction or a site that has been running for years. We work alongside your site teams and contractors, around your shifts and your programme, so the survey gets done and the job keeps moving.
- EMF (electromagnetic radiation) surveys in any workplace, anywhere in the UK and overseas.
- Measurements when and where it suits you.
- Full visibility of our work, from scope to final report.
- Progress updates whenever you want them.
- Questions answered promptly and in full, at no extra cost, long after the report lands.
