Considerations About Welding And The Effects Of Low Frequency
Electric And Magnetic Fields
Welding Current, as it flows through welding cables, will cause
electronic magnetic fields. There has been and still is some concern
about such fields. However, after examining more than 500 studies
spanning 17 years of research, a special blue ribbon committee of
the National Research Council concluded that: "The body of evidence,
in the committee's judgment, has not demonstrated that exposure
to power frequency electric and magnetic fields is a human-health
hazard." However, studies are still going forth and evidence continues
to be examined. Until the final conclusions of the research are
reached, you may wish to minimize your exposure to electromagnetic
fields when welding or cutting.
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 on side and away from the operator.
