Care should be taken to avoid the following hostile influences:
• Direct sunlight.
• Air draughts.
• Rapidly changing room temperature.
• Vibration or mechanical shock.
• Strong static magnetic fields (i.e. close to other NMR instruments).
• Variable magnetic fields (e.g. 50-60 Hz mains transformers, overhead power lines).
• Moving ferromagnetic objects (moving machines, swivel chairs).
WARNING
Risk to life 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.
u Mark the magnetic field of more than 0.5 mT (5 Gauss) before start up.
u
Keep people with active medical implants or heart pacemakers away from the 0.5 mT
(5 Gauss) area.
u
The permanent workplace of employees must be outside the 0.5 mT (5 Gauss) area.
u
Do not stay or work at magnetic fields of more than 8 T.
u Prevent exposure of more than 200 mT for more than 8 h/day.
u
Keep disks, credit cards and electronic devices away from the identified area.
u
Do not use ferromagnetic tools or items within the identified area.
u
Only use non-ferromagnetic transportation dewars or pressure cylinders for the
cryogenic agents.
u Only use non-ferromagnetic ladders or steps.
u Remove magnetic items (jewelry, watches, pens etc.) before carrying out maintenance
work.
