Abstract Directive 2004/40/EC (CIS 03-1039) on occupational exposures to electrical, magnetic and electromagnetic fields was the focus of this meeting organized by French Radiation Protection Society and held in Paris, France, on 15 December 2004. Topics addressed: types of occupational exposure; physical and biological basis for the Directive; specific absorption and thermal effects; biological effects of very low frequency fields and of radiofrequencies; recommendations of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP); dosimetry and precision of measurements; radiofrequency metrology and uncertainties; implications for industries using radiofrequencies.
