H.
To reduce magnetic fields in the work place, use the following procedures:
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS : -
May be dangerous. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized Electric and Magnetic Fields
(EMF). Welding and cutting current creates
EMF around welding cables and welding machines. Therefore:
1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them.
2. Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator.
3. Do not coil or drape cables around the body.
4. Keep welding power source and cables as far away as practical.
5. Connect work clamp to work-piece (JOB) as close to the weld as possible.
6.Welders having pacemakers should consult their physician
before welding. EMF may interfere with some pacemakers.
7. Exposure to EMF may have other health effects which are
unknown.
8. Welders should use the following procedures to minimize
exposure to EMF:
A. Route the electrode and work cables together. Secure
them with tape when possible.
B. Never coil the torch or work cable around your body.
C. Do not place your body between the torch and work
cables. Route cables on the same side of your body.
