Electromagnetic Field FAQ

If an EMF assessment reveals that exposure levels exceed the ALs or ELVs set out in CEMFAW, Lucion’s experts will guide on implementing appropriate control measures to reduce exposure and ensure compliance. These may include implementing exclusion zones, modifying work practices, installing shielding materials, or replacing high-EMF equipment with safer alternatives. Our team will work closely with you to develop a practical, effective action plan that addresses the specific risks identified in your workplace and ensures the ongoing safety of your employees. 

An EMF assessment typically involves a site visit by our experienced occupational hygiene specialists, who will conduct a thorough risk assessment, identify potential sources of EMF exposure, and perform detailed measurements using specialised equipment. The duration of the assessment depends on factors such as the size and complexity of your workplace, the number of EMF sources, and the level of detail required. Following the site visit, our team will analyse the data and provide a comprehensive report with findings, recommendations, and guidance on ensuring compliance. 

Lucion’s EMF assessment services provide a comprehensive evaluation of your workplace, identifying areas of exposure risk, measuring EMF strengths across relevant frequency ranges, and comparing them against the ALs and ELVs stipulated in CEMFAW. Our experts provide tailored recommendations for implementing control measures, developing EMF management plans, and ensuring compliance with the regulations. 

Higher-risk workplaces and equipment include those with electrical supplies carrying currents greater than 100A, workplaces undertaking welding or metal production, workplaces with magnetisers, demagnetisers, or microwaves, and those involved in transport and medical activities. Specific examples include MRI or NMR systems, 11 kV electrical systems, RF plasma devices, arc and induction melting equipment, industrial electrolysis equipment, electromagnetic inspection equipment, radar, and satellite communication antennas. 

In the UK, the Control of Electromagnetic Fields at Work (CEMFAW) Regulations 2016 place a legal obligation on employers to assess and manage EMF exposure risks in the workplace. These regulations set out Action Levels (ALs) and Exposure Limit Values (ELVs) that must not be exceeded to protect employees from potential health risks associated with EMF exposure. 

Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are areas of energy that surround electrical devices, created by the movement of electrical charges. While EMFs are present wherever electrical energy is used, certain workplace equipment can produce much higher levels that may pose risks to employee health. These risks can include direct effects like vertigo, nausea, or heating of body tissue, as well as indirect effects through interference with medical implants.
