Electromagnetic Field (EMF) Testing

---

Electromagnetic Field (EMF) occurs when electrical energy is used. EMF can come from electrical equipment in the workplace, public, commercial or residential area from processes that include radio frequencies, heating and drying systems, induction furnaces and radio communications equipment. The reason for the consideration of EMF in the workplace, public, commercial and residential area is that exposure to high levels of EMF can lead to acute health effects. 

These effects are broadly heating effects from some frequencies of the radiation and other effects on the body’s central nervous system.

The control of EMF is important. Where EMF is present in a workplace, the company needs to identify the sources, assess the risks and control exposure to EMFs to protect their employees. Similarly, where EMF is present in a public, commercial or residential area, one needs to identify the sources, assess the risks and control exposure to EMFs to protect the public or household members.

We can provide an assessment and testing service to establish the risks in your workplace, public, commercial or residential arising from EMF sources according to the international and national standards. This will help you to develop control measures and thus control your risk for your employees, public or household members. The survey itself is conducted in that a hand held sophisticated measuring instrument is used to measure the electromagnetic field at various locations close to the source of EMF and at worker locations, public or household locations. A measurement map is created and zones of low, medium and high risk added relating to the Exposure Limit Values (ELVs).  

A plan of action is provided including control measures required to reduce risk, stating health risks to particular categories of individuals who may be affected more than others. Information is made available in order to help you make workers, public or household members aware of the health risks and responsibilities.
