measures for persons wearing medical implants have to be taken. For example, restrict access for passers−by or conduct
individual risk assessment for welders. All welders should use the following procedures in order to minimize exposure to EMF
fields from the welding circuit:
1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them or using a cable cover.
2. Do not place your body between welding cables. Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator.
3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body.
4. Keep head and trunk as far away from the equipment in the welding circuit as possible.
5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as possible.
6. Do not work next to, sit or lean on the welding power source.
7. Do not weld whilst carrying the welding power source or wire feeder.
About Implanted Medical Devices:
Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor and the device manufacturer be- fore performing or going near
arc welding, spot welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or induction heating operations. If cleared by your doctor, then
following the above procedures is recommended.
