WARNING
The procedures below are among those also
normally recommended for pacemaker wearers.
Consult your doctor for complete information.
The following is a quotation from the General Conclusions
Section of the U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment,
Biological Effects of Power Frequency Electric & Magnetic
Fields - Background Paper, OTA-BP-E-63 (Washington, DC: U.S.
Government Printing Office, May 1989): "...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 clearly establish that low frequency magnetic fields
and 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 interpret 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:
Keep all doors, panels, covers, and guards closed and
1.
securely in place.
2. Stop engine before installing or connecting unit.
3. Have only qualified people remove guards or covers for
maintenance and troubleshooting as necessary.
4. To prevent accidental starting during servicing, disconnect
negative (-) battery cable from battery.
5. Keep hands, hair, loose clothing, and tools away from
moving parts.
6. Reinstall panels or guards and close doors when servicing
is finished and before starting engine.
