Advice on EMF

Laidler Associates cautions suppliers and users of machinery that they must still take steps to assess and control risks associated with electromagnetic fields, even though the publication of the Physical Agents (Electromagnetic Fields) Directive has been postponed until at least 2014. The delay does not absolve machine manufacturers from their present day responsibilities.

Laidler Associates says factories may have equipment that has never been assessed for EMF performance, which means employers will have no indication of whether or not they have a problem until it is too late.

The company offers EMF consultancy and assessment services for equipment suppliers and users.
