Yes, there are guidelines to ensure safe use of microwave ovens. Organizations like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulate the manufacture and sale of microwave ovens to ensure they meet safety standards. Users should regularly inspect their microwave ovens for any damage, such as a faulty door seal, which could allow microwaves to leak. It's also advisable to avoid standing directly in front of or close to the microwave oven while it is in operation.
