19:39, 10/07/2024

In mid-2016, the Ministry of Health issued Circular 21/2016/TT-BYT stipulating the national technical regulation on high-frequency electromagnetic fields - Permissible exposure levels to high-frequency electromagnetic fields in the workplace.

To be specific, to ensure the safety of workers, employers must carry out the following tasks:

- Facilities with workers exposed to high-frequency electromagnetic fields must periodically measure and inspect the high-frequency electromagnetic fields at the workplace at least once a year.- Employers must provide adequate personal protective equipment suitable for the working environment in accordance with occupational safety and hygiene laws.- If high-frequency electromagnetic fields exceed the allowable limit, the employing establishment must immediately implement solutions to improve working conditions and protect workers' health.

See related regulations at Circular 21/2016/TT-BYT, effective from December 1, 2016.
