In today’s world, electromagnetic (EM) fields in the workplace are becoming more and more numerous and their intensities are increasing. As a result, concerns for employee safety with respect to these EM fields is also increasing. On July 1st, 2016, EU Directive 2013/35/EU will be enforced. 

This directive will impose strict EM field guidelines on all EU member states in relation to worker safety. Per Article 4 of this directive, each workplace in the affected member states must assess all EM fields that may risk worker safety, measure the strength of these fields and verify their compliance or suffer harsh penalties.
