The European Commission has recently released a guide to good practices for implementing Directive 2013/35/EU.
This Guide is divided in two volumes plus a guide specifically intended for SMEs.
- Volume 1 provides advice on carrying out risk assessment and further advice on the options that may be available where employers need to implement additional protective or preventive measures.

- Volume 2 presents twelve case studies that show employers how to approach assessments and illustrates some of the preventive and protective measures that might be selected and implemented. The case studies are presented in the context of generic workplaces, but were compiled from real work situations.

The guide for SMEs will assist employers to carry out an initial assessment of the risks from EMF in the workplace. Based on the outcome of this assessment, it will help decide whether any further action needs to be taken to comply with the EMF Directive. This publication is available in electronic format in all EU official languages (Select your language in the scroll down menu on the top of the screen).
