Proposals on the transposition of Directive 2013/35/EU on the minimum health and safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks arising from physical agents - electromagnetic fields (EMF)The consultative document contains proposals for the transposition of Directive 2013/35/EU into Northern Ireland law through the Control of Electromagnetic Fields at Work Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2016.
These Regulations will only transpose the requirements of the Directive which go beyond, or are more specific than, those covered by existing legislation.
The Regulations will be supported by guidance that outlines the measures to be taken to assess exposure to EMFs and manage any of the risks identified.
