Element’s EMF survey and risk assessments protect your employees from Electromagnetic Field exposure, helping you create a safer working environment, and to comply with CEMFAW regulations. Our nationwide network of experienced consultants provide convenient on-site surveys, to identify, evaluate and mitigate your EMF risk – quickly and reliably.
What is an EMF survey?
An EMF (Electromagnetic Field) Survey is a series of on-site measurements using a portable instrument to assess the levels of EMF employees are exposed to, and ensure exposure is below the Exposure Limit Values (ELVs). It allows for identification, evaluation, and ultimately adequately reduces or controls any risks that may be present. EMFs can be highly dangerous to the employees in your workplace if not adequately controlled. EMF exposure health risks include cell damage, a decline in nervous system function, cancer, and sleep disturbances. It is mandatory to protect your employees from health risks by undertaking an EMF risk assessment under CEMFAW regulations.
