European Commission Non-binding guide to good practice for implementing
Directive 2013/35/EU Electromagnetic Fields now published
We have received notification from the European commission that the Non-binding guide to good practice for implementing Directive 2013/35/EU Electromagnetic
Fields has been published in English and can be found at
( http://ec.europa.eu/social/main.jsp?catId=82&langId=en&furtherPubs=yes ).
The remaining language versions will be made available by the end of this year.
It consists of two volumes and a specific guide for SMEs. The practical guide volume
1 provides advice on carrying out risk assessment and further advice on the options that may be available where employers need to implement additional protective or preventive measures.
Volume 2 presents twelve case studies that show employers how to approach assessments and illustrate some of the preventive and protective measures that might be selected and implemented. The case studies are presented in the context of generic workplaces, but were compiled from real work situations.
The guide for SMEs will assist employers to carry out an initial assessment of the risks from EMF in the workplace. Based on the outcome of this assessment, it will help to decide whether there is a need to take any further action as a result of the EMF
Directive.
