EMF COMP
Industrial
With decades of experience in electromagnetic safety, EMFcomp has the skills, knowledge and experience required to expertly assess EMF exposure in the industrial sector.
Our award-winning Chartered Radiation Protection Professionals have the ability for surveying even the most complex exposure environments encountered in the industrial sector. Numerous electromagnetic field sources are present within an industrial facility, ranging from welding to electrical substations and switchrooms; induction heating to large motors, pumps and antennas to transformers. Whatever your industrial sector or issue, our highly trained EMF specialists can help. Please get in touch for your no obligation, free consultation.
EMF Regulations for Industry
All employers within the industrial sector are obliged to comply with EMF legislation in the form of The Control of Electromagnetic Fields at Work Regulations, or CEMFAW. Industrial environments have numerous risks from EMF exposure, ranging from adverse health effects to standard workers, to interference hazards to workers with cardiac devices such as pacemakers or defibrillators, grouped as ‘workers at particular risk’. We are leaders in examining compliance with EMF legislation, guidance and limits. Our Managing Director is an active member of the Society for Radiological Protection, chairing their EMF and Optical Radiation Safety Committee. This ensures the latest assessment methods are applied to your EMF survey.
High Field Sources in The Industrial Sector
Sources of strong electromagnetic fields in the industry sector include:
- Electric welding and melting
- Power distribution (substations, switchrooms, cables carrying significant currents)
- Induction heating
- Magnetisers and demagnetisers
- Permanent magnets and electromagnets
- Radiofrequency field (RF) heating
- Non-destructive Testing (NDT)
- Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI)
- Electrical charging equipment
- Antennas
- RF plasma (CVD, sputtering)
- Industrial heating or drying
- Large motors and pumps
Independent Advice
Our specialists act as an independent third party using the scientific facts related to EMF exposure, and we will always remain impartial in both our EMF surveys and recommendations. We work closely with industrial clients so they obtain an in-depth understanding of EMF regulations, such as the Control of Electromagnetic Fields at Work Regulations 2016 or CEMFAW. This allows clients to implement the correct mitigation measures.
