Description Consequent to the 2016 legislation, European companies are expected to be in compliancewith new legislation about occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields. The aim of thisstudy is to determine the compliance of companies and the respective stakeholders withrespect to the new EMF safety legislation. A questionnaire was used to determine the levelof electromagnetic safety management (N=190). The stakeholders included workingenvironment specialists, workers, occupational health doctors and labour inspectors. Thestudy found that working environment specialists had assessed the EMF safety in companiesto be better managed than did workers and labour inspectors. The key factor influencingEMF safety was training working environment specialists and workers. The shortcomingsare characteristic to all companies, but are somewhat less evident in large companies. Thestudy is contributing on how legal aspects of EMF safety are considered at different levels ofstakeholders, and also show the need for reducing the exposure resultant from poorlymanaged safety issues.
