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 one side and away from the operator.
3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body.
4. Keep welding power source and cables as far away from operator
as practical.
5. Connect work clamp to work-piece as close to the weld as
possible.
