Considerations About

Background
Paper;

(Washington,

Printing
Office,

.
.
there
is
now
a
very
large
volume of
scientific
findings
based
on
experiments
at
the
cellular
level
and
from
studies
with animals
and
people
which
clearty
establish
that low
frequency
magnetic
fields
can
interact
with,
and
produce
changes
in,
biological
systems.
While
most
of this
work
is of
very
high quality,
the
results
are
complex.
Current scientific
understanding
does
not
yet
allow
us
to
in
terpret
.the
evidence
in
a
single
coherent
framework.
Even
more
frustrating,
it
does
not
yet
allow
us
to
draw definite
conclusions
about
questions
of
possible
risk
or
to
offer
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
from
opera
tor
as
practical.
5.
Connect
work
clamp
to
workpiece
as
close
to
the
weld
as
possible.
About Pacemakers:
The
above
procedures
are
also
recommended for
pacemaker
wearers.
Consult
your
doctor
for
complete
information.
