Aims of the CourseĮMF and RF Awareness from Praxis42 aims to help organisations to be fully aware of EMF’s, where they occur, the risks involved, and the permissible exposure levels to employees and others, enabling you to appreciate the hazards and risk and take appropriate action.

In fact any equipment that generates an amount of electrical current can produce significant magnetic fields. Completing the training course and gaining the certificate will provide evidence as part of the Arqiva Gateway Process and also at other operators sites.Įlectromagnetic fields (EMF’s) also referred to as Radio Frequency (RF) can be generated both intentionally and unintentionally in a variety of working environments with employees being accidentally exposed to harmful levels of EMF’s or RF.ĮMF’s and RF are used in many industrial processes including induction heating, semiconductor processing and medical diathermy as well as the more well known examples of telecommunication and broadcast systems.

Praxis42 is an Arqiva Accepted Training Provider for EMF and RF refresher courses and also meets the requirements of the MATS Group. Owners or operators of sites where Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) or Radio Frequencies (RF) are produced require that workers are trained in EMF and RF safety before they are granted access.

The Praxis42 IOSH Approved EMF and RF Awareness course has been developed by EMF and RF experts for a global audience and is used by Vodafone, Ericsson and EE to mention just a few international operators. Training is among a range of measures required to comply with the requirements and guidance that protects workers from harm. It is an employers and operators responsibility to manage the risk and comply with legislation or guidance set out for example in the EMF Directive 2013/35/EU which has derived from the Physical Agents Directive, The Control of Electromagnetic Fields at Work Regulations 2016, Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Electromagnetic Fields) Regulations 2016 or ICNIRP. Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) and Radio Frequency (RF) sometimes referred to RADHAZ is a hazard to workers globally.
