Randomized trial evaluates exposure levels and safety strategies in electrical infrastructure, suggesting improvements for risk management.

This study assesses the occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields at electrical infrastructure sites in Jordan.
Field measurements of electromagnetic fields were conducted at HV substations, a thermal power plant, and a photovoltaic station.
Measurements were compared with guidelines set by ICNIRP and IEEE.
Data was collected under steady-state operating conditions.
Magnetic flux densities at all three sites were below ICNIRP and IEEE guidelines.
Electric field strengths at some HV substations exceeded ICNIRP levels but remained below IEEE levels.
Effective safety control measures to reduce EMF exposure were identified, including engineering and administrative controls.

Smadi et al. (2026) studied this question.
