Exposure of workers to risks due to electromagnetic fields. Risk assessment guide.

Summary This practical guide was written in collaboration with INERIS to help companies prevent the risks associated with worker exposure to electromagnetic fields. It aims to simplify the assessment process, based on an order of probability, by eliminating equipment that is immediately risk-free because it emits low-level electromagnetic fields. Once the simplified assessment has been completed, and depending on the equipment available in the company, an in-depth assessment is proposed, if necessary, for field sources of intermediate intensity. It appears that eight industrial applications are mainly likely to expose operators. These eight applications are followed as a common thread throughout the different parts of this book. The main actions for reducing exposure are listed, and employee information and training, accessibility of risk assessment and employee health surveillance are discussed.
