<p>In Great Britain, the International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection
guidelines are reflected in the Control of Electromagnetic Fields at Work Regulations
2016 (EMF regulations) and the Control of Artificial Optical Radiation at Work Regulations
2010 (AOR regulations).</p><p> </p><p>The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) enforces
the EMF and AOR regulations, which make provisions for the protection of workers and
others from the health risks associated with exposure to electromagnetic fields and
artificial optical radiation during work activity. There has been no recent specific
assessment of trends in regulatory compliance. However, HSE recently carried out the
first 5-yearly post-implementation review of the EMF regulations, which was published
in July 2021. The evidence gathered as part of the review showed no significant concerns
with how the regulations were helping employers control the risks associated with
electromagnetic fields.</p>
