The Control of Electromagnetic Fields at Work Regulations 2016 No. 588

SCHEDULE

PART 2 Direct biophysical effects of exposure

Exposure limit values – thermal effects

Notes

2.  The ELV may be exceeded during an employee’s shift where the employer ensures that—

(a) it is only exceeded temporarily;

(b) adequate information is provided to the employee on the possibility of sensory effects related to pulsed microwave radiation, including auditory sensations; and

(c) where any of those sensory effects are reported to the employer, the risk assessment is updated where necessary.
