Environment, Health and Safety

SCG strives for a leading position in all its markets and business segments. An important element, to ensure business leadership, is the successful integration of EHS management into all relevant business processes.

We will focus on Product and Process Innovation and Customer Support to continuously improve continuously the EHS performance of our products and services.

We are committed to exploring all reasonable opportunities to apply our EHS strategies and policies in close cooperation with our customers and suppliers for the benefit of all parties.

When security and safety are involved, ones' first reflections are anti-terrorism and anti-crime. But there is another point we invite you to think about:

Harmful environmental influences due to electromagnetism and radio-electricity.

The progress of the technology, ( by the way from that we also profit ), exposes us constantly to high frequencies, today and in urban zones 10 million times more than 50 years ago.

Human activities are not the only reason for the production of electromagnetic radiation. There are natural sources, but the level of their radiation in the range from 100 kHz to 300 GHz is very weak, compared to the ones created and transmitted artificially.

The natural sources that produce the principal radiation are essentially created by the atmosphere where the static electricity produces un electric field of approximately 100 V/m (electro magnetic field of ground) ; the sun and stars produce an energy flow of approximately 10 pW/cm² between 100 kHz and 300 GHz ; and finally also the thunderstorms have got a local influence.

The human being adapted itself to this electromagnetic environment, during the last millenniums, in the same way as human adapted itself to its chemical environment (ground, ocean, atmosphere).
It's the rapid and significant variation and change of a parameter that can present a disruptive element with the ability to become a pathogenic agent: this is what happens since a short period; take the intensification of the electromagnetic radiation, due to the appearance of radio and television, hyper-frequency devices (mostly used in industry and medicine), micro-ovens and now most recently the cellular phone communication (GSM, UMTS, DECT).
A large number of scientific and medical researche have been carried out for more than twenty years, and they demonstrated the harmful consequences to the human being, due to those non-ionisation radiations.

SCG proposes different devices to measure electromagnetic fields but also devices to protect yourself against the exposure of electromagnetic radiation.
