MR workers are individuals (e.g. operator, further personnel)
who work within the controlled access area or MR environment.
The system owner is responsible for ensuring that only trained
and qualified MR workers and physicians are working on the MR
system, so that they can perform all their tasks safely and effi-
ciently, and in a way that minimizes their exposure to the elec-
tromagnetic field. In addition, the MR system may only be used
as intended.

The system includes a keyswitch to prevent unauthorized switch
on.
A.1
Informing MR workers
A.1
MR personnel must read and understand the operator manual,
paying special attention to the safety chapter, before working
with the MR system. The safety hints regarding the magnetic
fields must also apply to MR workers. An understanding of MR
safety is especially important for those individuals who only
work in the MR environment occasionally. For further informa-
tion, see (
