Whether employees are able to carry out their usual activities depends on the sensitivity of the implanted body aid and the employee's working environment. This can only be decided on a case-by-case basis. In the assessment, the exposure of those affected and the sensitivity of the body aid must be taken into account.

Müller-BBM Industry Solutions GmbH will support you in the risk assessment. In this process, we comply with the Technical Rules for the Occupational Health and Safety Ordinance on Electromagnetic Fields (TREMF).

For our clients

• we measure electromagnetic fields on site,
• we identify potential areas that pose a risk to people with active or passive implants,
• we suggest measures such as sufficient safety distances and warning notices.

Contact our EMF occupational health and safety experts with extensive knowledge and many years of practical experience with the required measurement methods, both in the low and high frequency range.

Our head of department Frank Dauenhauer will be happy to answer your questions. Write an e-mail to frank.dauenhauer(at)mbbm-ind.com or call us at +49 89 85602-3299.

Background information:
More than 100,000 pacemakers and defibrillators are implanted in Germany every year (source: German Social Accident Insurance). As the age at first implantation is continuously decreasing, the number of working people with active medical implants (pacemakers, defibrillators) is also increasing.

In general, implants - which also include passive body aids such as artificial hip joints - can be adversely affected by external electromagnetic fields (EMF). In particular with pacemakers, interference is possible, which in extreme cases can be life-threatening for the person concerned.

Wherever high currents flow, unshielded high voltages occur or high-frequency signals are emitted, corresponding electromagnetic fields can arise.
