What are EMF Surveys at Element?
EMF (Electromagnetic Field) surveys use specialized portable instruments to measure electromagnetic field levels in your workplace, ensuring exposure stays below Exposure Limit Values (ELVs). EMFs can be highly dangerous to the employees in your workplace if not adequately controlled. Element's nationwide network of consultants conducts on-site measurements to identify, evaluate, and help you control EMF risks, delivering detailed technical reports with practical recommendations for workplace safety improvements. Our comprehensive approach includes initial risk audits, thorough measurement surveys, and customized action plans that address your specific workplace challenges while ensuring full regulatory compliance.
