Let's get physical

Article Abstract:

The European Community Commission's proposed draft directive concerning physical agents covers the hazards of non-ionising electromagnetic radiation, noise, optical radiation and vibration. Health surveillance requirements are given a higher status than those required under the 1986 noise directive. A large number of ceiling, action and threshold levels would be introduced under the proposed directive. The UK Health & Safety Commission believes the proposal is unnecessary and involves high implementation costs.
