A joint order by the ministers for labour and agriculture specifies the physical quantities represented by the exposure limit values mentioned in article R. 4453-3 and the values triggering action mentioned in article R. 4453-4 , as well as the associated parameters.
The employer assesses the risks resulting from the exposure of workers to electromagnetic fields. The purpose of this assessment is in particular to: 1° To identify which of the exposure limit values and the values triggering action laid down in Articles R. 4453-3 and R. 4453-4 are relevant to the work situation; 2° Determine whether, in a given situation, any of the values mentioned in 1° are likely to be…
Where the risk assessment carried out on the basis of documentary data does not allow the conclusion to be drawn that there is no risk of the action values or exposure limit values being exceeded, the employer shall measure, calculate or digitally simulate the levels of electromagnetic fields to which workers are likely to be exposed.
When carrying out a risk assessment, the employer shall take into consideration : 1° The origin and characteristics of the electromagnetic field emissions present in the workplace ; 2° The exposure limit values and the values triggering action laid down in articles R. 4453-3 and R. 4453-4 ; 3° The results of exposure assessments carried out in application of regulatory provisions relating to limiting public exposure to electromagnetic fields; 4°…
When carrying out a risk assessment, the employer shall rely on the competent employee(s) referred to in Article L. 4644-1 or, failing that, on the consultant and bodies referred to in the same article.
The results of the risk assessment, together with the exposure limit values or values triggering action identified pursuant to article R. 4453-6, are recorded in the single risk assessment document provided for in article R. 4121-1. The results of the risk assessment are kept in a form which allows them to be consulted at a later date. The employer communicates them to the occupational physician, to the health professionals of…
When the results of the risk assessment show that the values triggering action are exceeded, the employer determines and implements the preventive measures and means provided for in Article R. 4453-13. These provisions are not required when the following cumulative conditions are met: 1° The values triggering action concern only direct biophysical effects; 2° The employer has demonstrated that the exposure limit values are not exceeded; 3° The safety risks…
A joint order by the ministers for labour and agriculture specifies the conditions for measuring, calculating and digitally simulating electromagnetic field levels.
Reducing the risks associated with exposure to electromagnetic fields is based in particular on : 1° The use of other work processes which do not expose workers to electromagnetic fields or which result in less exposure; 2° The choice of appropriate work equipment emitting less intense electromagnetic fields, taking into account the work to be carried out; 3° The implementation of technical means to reduce the emission of electromagnetic fields…
Workplaces where workers are likely to be exposed to electromagnetic field levels exceeding the action values are identified and appropriately and specifically signposted. Access to them is restricted if necessary. They are subject to restriction or access control when workers are likely to be exposed to levels of electromagnetic fields exceeding the exposure limit values. When access to these areas is restricted for electrical risks and workers are informed and…
