The risk to employees from the effects of electromagnetic fields in the vegetable and fish processing plant

Abstract

The electromagnetic field, as a factor affecting employees' health is the subject of research presented in this paper. The electromagnetic field commonly accompanies employees of companies and enterprises in the work environment and this is the result of numerous applications in technological processes. The human body is not able to sense the threat of electromagnetic field in the environment by means of senses, unlike other physical processes (e.g. vibrations, noise). Two devices used during the production process were tested. This paper presents the results of measurement tests carried out at the fish and vegetable processing plant. This was to ensure employees that their workplace does not expose them to the additional danger associated with the impact of fields exceeding the permissible values. It has been shown that the values of the emitted field are low and do not exceed the values set in the standards.
