WARNING
Risk of damage to life and limb due to high magnetic fields.
A magnetic field of more than 0.5 mT (5 Gauss) is life-threatening for people with
pacemakers or active metal implants. Exposure to more than 8 T can cause damage
to health. Duration of exposure (8 h/day) above the limit of 200 mT can cause
damage to health. Ferromagnetic tools in the magnetic field are significantly
hazardous. Disks and electronic devices may be damaged.
 Mark the magnetic field of more than 0.5 mT (5 Gauss) before start up.

Keep people with active medical implants away from the 0.5 mT (5 Gauss) area.
 The permanent workplace of employees must be outside the 0.5 mT (5 Gauss)
area.

Do not stay or work at magnetic fields of more than 8 T.
 Prevent exposure of more than 200 mT for more than 8 h/day.

Keep disks, credit cards and electronic devices away from the identified area.
 Do not use ferromagnetic tools or items within the identified area.

Only use non-ferromagnetic transportation dewars or pressure cylinders for the
cryogenic agents.
 Only use non-ferromagnetic ladders or steps.
