Why should you use BS EN 50496-Determination of workers' exposure to electromagnetic fields?
Low-frequency magnetic fields induce circulating currents within the human body. The strength of these currents depends on the intensity of the outside magnetic field. If sufficiently large, these currents could cause stimulation of nerves and muscles or affect other biological processes.
BS EN 50496 provides you with assessment methods, zoning of exposure workplace, collection of technical data, workplace access conditions, information, and training.
The methods provided by BS EN 50496 assist in the determination of workers' exposure to electromagnetic fields and evaluate the effectiveness and suitability of existing control measures.
By adopting BS EN 50496 the user can identify health and safety hazards and evaluate the risks present within the workplace to create a safe and healthy workplace.
