Safety and health at work: exposure of workers to electromagnetic fields

The Council took note of a written progress report from the Greek Presidency on the draft Directive on minimum requirements for safety and health in relation to workers' exposure to risks due to electromagnetic fields and waves. Considerable progress has been made on this dossier. However, certain issues of a technical nature remain outstanding, they concern: - the scope of the Directive and definitions (Articles 1 and 2); - exposure limit values and action values (Article 3); - assessment of risks (Articles 3 (º2) and 4); - applicability of preventive measures (Article 5); The Presidency expects these to be resolved at a forthcoming Council meeting.�
