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.

What can Element offer you for Electromagnetic Fields Surveys?

Components we test

Element's EMF survey services cover all workplace electromagnetic field sources, from industrial equipment to power supplies. Our comprehensive testing encompasses both static and dynamic EMF sources, ensuring no potential exposure points are missed. We specialize in high-risk industrial environments where EMF exposure requires careful monitoring and management. Our expertise extends to complex multi-source environments, helping you understand and manage cumulative EMF exposure risks across your entire facility.

Key tests offered

Our systematic approach begins with an initial EMF Risk Audit & Assessment to identify all EMF-generating equipment. We then conduct detailed measurement surveys to evaluate actual EMF levels against acceptable limits. This is followed by developing customized EMF action plans, including machine zoning recommendations and detailed technical reporting. Our solutions include comprehensive employee training programs and ongoing support to help you maintain safe EMF levels long-term.
