conclusions

about

questions

of

possible

risk

or

to

clear

science-based

advice

on

strategies

to

minimize

or

avoid

potential

risks.

To

reduce

magnetic

fields

in

the

workplace,

use

the

following

procedures:

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

workpiece

as

close

to

the

weld

as

possible.

About

Pacemakers:

The

above

procedures

are

among

those

also

normally

recommended

for

pacemaker

wearers.

Consult
