Abstract All workers are exposed to the magnetic fields that surround electrical equipment. Although there is no scientific proof that exposure to magnetic fields presents a risk to health, it is advisable to limit workers' exposure by selecting electrical equipment that emits the weakest possible electromagnetic radiation. Topics addressed in this review of current knowledge: average exposure to magnetic fields during different tasks; practical recommendations; relevant Argentinean legislation; units and nomenclature.
