Electromagnetic Radiation: Health & The Environment
- Electromagnetic field (EMF) safety of workplaces and products are two safety responsibilities applying to a wide range of employers and manufacturers for protection of the health of employees and the general public. Workplaces are subject to health and safety regulation such as the introduction of the EU Physical Agents Directive for EMF, 2013/35/EU. Electrical products must comply with essential health and safety requirements before placing them on the market and are regulated in the EU under CE marking Directives with specific standards for EMF safety. The topic of EMF safety is explained on this course together with its regulation, management and assessment with practical measurement examples. It applies to industries including communications, radar, industrial processing, medicine and other fields
Who should attend?
- Those involved in the design, installation, operation and maintenance of electrical products and installations producing electromagnetic fields.
- Safety practitioners from all disciplines; supervisors and managers of people working with EMF.
- People from other disciplines who use EMF in research, medical work and other industries.
Course Outcomes​
- Understand the nature and properties of electromagnetic fields (EMF) and the difference between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation.
- Understand the health effects of EMF on the human body including shocks and burns and indirect hazards to, flammable atmospheres, Electro Explosive Devices (EEDs) and medical implants.
- To be able to identify and comply with the current and future EU regulation including the EU Physical Agents (EMF)
- Directive and create a workplace EMF safety policy.
- To be able to identify and comply with current product EU Directives, EMF standards and their assessment methods.
