2. SAFETY
NOTE!
All persons working in operation, maintenance and servicing of the
lifting magnets must be adequately qualified and observe the operating
instructions in all details. The operating instructions comprise all information
required for safe and optimum use of the magnets. This concerns not only
the functional reliability of the lifting magnets chucks, but also your personal
safety.
Do not remove any signs/labels, warning symbols and instructions from the
lifting magnets!
DANGER!
Danger – strong magnetic field!
The exposure zone of the magnetic field poses a risk of injury and death
for persons with pacemakers, electronic medical device implants, active
implants or ferromagnetic foreign bodies.
■
Minimum distance 2 m!
■
Whether persons with pacemakers, active implants or ferromagnetic
foreign bodies can work on machines with magnet devices has to be
decided in each individual case and upon consultation with a physician.
Measurements may have to be carried out.
■
In any case, the hazard zone has to be limited in such a way that the
basic limit of 0.5 mT is not reached.
■
The applicable limits in the exposure zone of the magnetic field as per
BGV B11 (Regulation issued by the German Social Accident Insurance
Institutions), Annex 2, are not exceeded.
- Peak values for head or torso: 2.000 T
- Mean value for 8 h full-body exposure: 0.212 T
- Peak value for extremities: 5.000 T
- As the magnetic saturation for steel 1.0037 is 1.6 – 1.9 T and the
magnetic field is concentrated in the area near the pole plate, the
limits stated above are not exceeded in the range > 10 cm.
- According to the Bavarian Environment Agency (LfU) and the German
Federal Occupational Health and Safety Regulation (EMFV) of
15/11/2016, constant magnetic fields < 2 T have no adverse effect on
health.
DANGER!
Risk of crushing!
There is a risk of crushing when the active magnet makes contact with a
ferromagnetic load.
■
Always position the lifting magnet on the load while it is not magnetised.
■
Wear personal protective equipment.
