EMF Regulations

• Unsure How EMF Regulations Impact Your Organisation?
• Want to Avoid Enforcement Action Due To Non-compliance?
• Require Chartered Radiation Protection Experts To Assess Compliance With EMF Legislation?

Why Do The EMF Regulations Exist?

Electromagnetic fields, produced by any electrical equipment, can be hazardous to workers. They can also interfere with cardiac devices. Because of this, the UK government have introduced regulatory requirements and limits. All employers have a legal responsibility to ensure that these limits are not exceeded.

How Is Compliance With The EMF Regulations Assessed?

Compliance  with  the  limits  in  The  Control  Of  Electromagnetic  Field  At  Work  Regulations  can  either  be  achieved  through  measurement  or calculation. However, the legal limits vary with the frequency of the fields and the evaluation, hence the legislation, is often complex.

Who Can Carry Out This CEMFAW Assessment?

Only  qualified  surveyors  should  be  used  to  complete  an  EMF  survey  to  assess  compliance with  the  EMF  regulations. The  relevant  qualification  is the Society for Radiological Protection’s (SRP’s) Chartered Radiation Protection Professional (CRadP).

All EMFcomp surveyors are Chartered Radiation Protection Professionals, educated to PhD level, and Members of the Society for Radiological Protection. These qualifications guarantee that best practice is applied to EMF surveys. We are the UK’s premium safety specialists and have carried out over 100 EMF compliance surveys.
