EMF COMP
Healthcare
Hospitals use strong fields on purpose. MRI, TMS, electrosurgery and diathermy all depend on them.
That is good for patients. It also means staff work close to the sources, day after day. We assess their exposure, and the risk of one piece of equipment interfering with another. We have surveyed single scanners and entire hospitals. You get a plain verdict: compliant or not, and what to do about it. Chartered, independent, award-winning. Get in touch for a free consultation.
Leading EMF Assessment
Healthcare is a sector where the detail matters. Our instruments are calibrated in accredited laboratories and cover static, low frequency and radiofrequency fields, so a single survey can take in an MRI suite, a theatre and the plant room. Our Managing Director, Dr Richard Findlay, is a Chartered Radiation Protection Professional and served on the UK Health Protection Agency’s expert group on MRI. You deal with him directly.
High Field Sources in The Healthcare Sector
The sources that most often matter in healthcare, and the devices most at risk from them:
- Hospital infrastructure, including substations, transformers and risers.
- Transcranial magnetic stimulation
- Electrosurgery
- Diathermy
- MRI
- Implanted medical devices including pacemakers, defibrillators and heart pumps
Professional Advice
We sell no equipment and no shielding, so our advice is impartial. In healthcare the answer is rarely to change the equipment. It is to know exactly where the strong fields are, mark those areas clearly, and give staff simple rules to work by. We explain what the Control of Electromagnetic Fields at Work Regulations 2016 (CEMFAW) require in plain English, including how the MRI exemption works.
Client Focus
We work anywhere in the UK, at times that suit a working hospital, around clinics and theatre lists. You know the fee before we start. You can ask for an update at any point. And when the report lands, questions are answered promptly and in full, at no extra cost. You also get a short slide summary to put in front of managers or the safety committee.
“Efficient, prompt and diligent in their response. We were very happy with their work.”
