1-5. Information sur les champs é lectromagné tiques

Données sur le soudage électrique et sur les effets, pour l’organisme, des champs magnétiques basse fréquence

Le courant de soudage, pendant son passage dans les câbles de sou- dage, causera des champs électromagnétiques. Il y a eu et il y a encore un certain souci à propos de tels champs. Cependant, après avoir ex- aminé plus de 500 études qui ont été faites pendant une période de recherche de 17 ans, un comité spécial ruban bleu du National Re- search Council a conclu: “L’accumulation de preuves, suivant le jugement du comité, n’a pas démontré que l’exposition aux champs magnétiques et champs électriques à haute fréquence représente un risque à la santé humaine”. Toutefois, des études sont toujours en cours et les preuves continuent à être examinées. En attendant que les con- clusions finales de la recherche soient établies, il vous serait souhaitable de réduire votre exposition aux champs électromagnéti- ques pendant le soudage ou le coupage.

Afin de réduire les champs électromagnétiques dans l’environnement de travail, respecter les consignes suivantes :

1Garder les câbles ensembles en les torsadant ou en les attachant avec du ruban adhésif.

2Mettre tous les câbles du côté opposé de l’opérateur.

3Ne pas courber pas et ne pas entourer pas les câbles autour de votre corps.

4Garder le poste de soudage et les câbles le plus loin possible de vous.

5Relier la pince de masse le plus près possible de la zone de soudure.

Consignes relatives aux stimulateurs cardiaques :

Les personnes qui portent un stimulateur cardiaque doivent avant tout consulter leur docteur. Si vous êtes déclaré apte par votre docteur, il est alors recommandé de respecter les consignes ci–dessus.
