Abstract: For complying with the European legislation regarding electromagnetic field exposure,
Romania has adopted appropriate national legislation. Thus, Decision 1136 from
30.08.2006 is the main national law where are stipulated the minimal safety and health
requirements for working exposure in risks generated by electromagnetic fields in the
range of 0 Hz – 300 GHz. There are mentioned some predictions referring to safety and
health risks caused by the short-term hazardous effects against human body due to
induced currents and energy absorption and due to contact currents. Some
reglementation are established for the employer which must assure information of
workers exposed at their working place to electromagnetic risks and must inform the
working responsable factors about the risks assessment results. This paper also present
some predictions mentioned in Law 319/2006 for removing or at least reducing the
risks generated by electromagnetic fields exposure.
