Electromagnetic fields

The health check-up complies with the Swedish Work Environment Authority's regulations on Electromagnetic Fields (AFS 2016:3) and is aimed at employees who are exposed to electromagnetic fields in their working lives. The health check-up aims to prevent and early diagnose possible negative health effects caused by exposure to electromagnetic fields.

Risk assessment of the work environment

In order to know which exposures are involved, the health check-up shall be preceded by a risk assessment of the work environment according to AFS 2016:3. The health check-up shall also be carried out if an undesirable or unexpected health effect is reported by an employee, or if exposure exceeding  limits is detected. The health check-up is normally not performed if the exposure is below the limit value, except if employees are exposed to specific risks from the exposure.

How the health survey works
