What really remains a challenge is the practical implementation of the demanding scientific, administrative, and legislative OHS framework. In Greece, the Hellenic Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs is the responsible Authority for both EMF and AOR, but ionizing radiation assessment is under the auspices of the Greek Atomic Energy Commission (EEAE).

The AOR limiting exposure system also contains several ELVs, based directly on established health effects and biological considerations (thermal and photochemical), ranging from erythema, burns and irritations to cataracts, retinal damage and skin cancer. The EMF limiting system ensures sufficient protection from the above health effects containing several quantities, that is (measurable, external field) Action Levels (ALs) and (non-measurable, internal field) Exposure Limit Values (ELVs). Investigation on the interactions of the central (CNS) and the peripheral (PNS) nervous system with the low frequency EMF (ELF) set the protection system on the basis of electrostimulation.

The use of the bioheat equation has been considered effective for the RF thermal protection on the basis of specific absorption rate (SAR), considering the advanced heat dissipation mechanisms of the human body. Starting from Maxwell’s equations and applying the appropriate ‘electric’ tissue properties (ε, σ, μ), the complete interactions of both the EMF and the AOR with living organisms are revealed. Ionizing radiation is treated separately, on a completely different scientific basis, under the 2013/59 EURATOM Directive. The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) guidelines provide the principal scientific basis for limiting AOR and EMF exposures. Individual Directives were then specialized on the various aspects of the occupational environment and thus also on the artificial optical radiation (AOR), that is ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR) and visible (VIS) radiation, for both laser and non-coherent radiation and electromagnetic fields (EMF, 0 – 300 GHz). The will to uphold high standards for Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) in the European Union (EU), expressed in its latest form under the Treaty of the EU, found its primary legislative means through the Framework Directive.
