A new web based system to evaluate workers exposure according to requirements of the Directive 2004/40/EC

The Directive 2004/40/EC of the European Commission has the purpose to protect workers against adverse affects arising from electromagnetic fields. To achieve this goal several requirements are imposed on employers that can be hardly managed by them mainly due to their lack of expertise in the field of electromagnetic fields. It was therefore decided to develop a software system called EMES dedicated to enable employers to evaluate the exposure of their employees without having any expertise in the field of electromagnetic fields. The exposure arising from all selected sources is then calculated and compared to the limits given in the Directive 2004/40/EC.
