Section 5: Preventive measures and resources

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…

For the workers at particular risk referred to in 7° of Article R. 4453-8, the employer, in conjunction with the occupational physician, shall adapt the prevention measures provided for in this section.

Where, despite the preventive measures implemented pursuant to this section, a worker’s exposure exceeds the exposure limit values, the employer : 1° Immediately take measures to reduce exposure to a level below these limit values; 2° Determine the reasons why the exposure limit values were exceeded and adapt the protection and prevention measures accordingly in order to prevent any further exceedance; 3° Informs the Social and Economic Committee and the…
