- Y Diweddaraf sydd Ar Gael (Diwygiedig)
- Gwreiddiol (a wnaed Fel)
Dyma’r fersiwn wreiddiol (fel y’i gwnaed yn wreiddiol). This item of legislation is currently only available in its original format.
Sensory effect ELVs – magnetic flux density (B0) [T] | |
---|---|
Head and trunk | 2 |
Limbs | 8 |
Health effect ELV – magnetic flux density (B0) [T] | |
Any part of the body | 8 |
The sensory effect ELVs may be exceeded during an employee’s shift where the employer ensures that—
(a)they are only exceeded temporarily;
(b)protection measures have been adopted which minimise, so far as is reasonably practicable, the sensory effects related to movement in static magnetic fields, including nausea and vertigo;
(c)adequate information is provided to the employee on the possibility of those sensory effects; and
(d)where any of those sensory effects are reported to the employer, the exposure assessment under regulation 5, and the protection measures, are updated where necessary.
Frequency range | Health effect ELVs – internal electric field strength (E) [Vm-1] |
---|---|
1 Hz ≤ f < 3 kHz | 1.1 |
3 kHz ≤ f ≤ 10 MHz | 3.8 × 10-4 f |
1. The ELVs are limits for electric fields induced in the body from exposure to time-varying electric and magnetic fields.
2. The ELVs are spatial peak values in the entire body of the employee.
3. Note 2 to Table AL1 applies in relation to methods of determining exposure.
Frequency range | Sensory effect ELVs – internal electric field strength in the head (E) [Vm-1] |
---|---|
1 ≤ f < 10 Hz | 0.7/f |
10 ≤ f < 25 Hz | 0.07 |
25 ≤ f ≤ 400 Hz | 0.0028 f |
1. The ELVs are spatial peak values induced in the head of the exposed employee, and can arise from exposure to either external electric or external magnetic fields.
2. The ELVs may be exceeded during an employee’s shift where the employer ensures that—
(a)they are only exceeded temporarily;
(b)hazardous spark discharges, and contact currents in excess of those in Table AL5, are prevented through the provision of information and training under regulation 10 and the use of suitable technical and personal protection measures;
(c)adequate information is provided to the employee on the possibility of sensory effects related to time-varying magnetic fields, including retinal phosphenes; and
(d)where any of those sensory effects are reported to the employer, the risk assessment is updated where necessary.
3. Note 2 to Table AL1 applies in relation to methods of determining exposure.
Y Diweddaraf sydd Ar Gael (diwygiedig):Y fersiwn ddiweddaraf sydd ar gael o’r ddeddfwriaeth yn cynnwys newidiadau a wnaed gan ddeddfwriaeth ddilynol ac wedi eu gweithredu gan ein tîm golygyddol. Gellir gweld y newidiadau nad ydym wedi eu gweithredu i’r testun eto yn yr ardal ‘Newidiadau i Ddeddfwriaeth’.
Gwreiddiol (Fel y’i Deddfwyd neu y’i Gwnaed): Mae'r wreiddiol fersiwn y ddeddfwriaeth fel ag yr oedd pan gafodd ei deddfu neu eu gwneud. Ni wnaed unrhyw newidiadau i’r testun.
Explanatory Memorandum sets out a brief statement of the purpose of a Statutory Rule and provides information about its policy objective and policy implications. They aim to make the Statutory Rule accessible to readers who are not legally qualified and accompany any Northern Ireland Statutory Rule or Draft Northern Ireland Statutory Rule laid before the UK Parliament during the suspension of the Northern Ireland Assembly.
