ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC

FIELDS may be dangerous

3.a. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding current creates EMF fields around welding cables and weldingmachines

3.b. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and welders having a pacemaker should consult their physician before welding.

3.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other health effects which are now not known.

3.d. All welders should use the following procedures in order to minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:

3.d.1. Route the electrode and work cables together - Secure them with tape when possible.

3.d.2. Never coil the electrode lead around your body.

3.d.3. Do not place your body between the electrode and work cables. If the electrode cable is on your right side, the work cable should also be on your right side.

3.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as possible to the area being welded.

3.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.

MAR95

LOS CAMPOS ELECTRICOS Y MAGNETICOS

pueden ser peligrosos

3.a. La corriente eléctrica que circula por cualquiera de los conductores causa campos eléctricos y magnéticos (EMF) localizados. La corriente para soldar crea cam- pos EMF alrededor de los cables y máquinas soldado- ras.

3.b. Los campos EMF pueden interferir con algunos marca- pasos, y los soldadores que tengan marcapaso deben consultar a su médico antes de manejar una soldado- ra.

3.c. La exposición a los campos EMF en soldadura pueden tener otros efectos sobre la salud que se desconocen.

3.d. Todo soldador debe emplear los procedimientos sigu- ientes para reducir al mínimo la exposición a los cam- pos EMF del circuito de soldadura:

3.d.1. Pasar los cables del electrodo y de trabajo jun- tos - Atarlos con cinta siempre que sea posible.

3.d.2. Nunca enrollarse el cable del electrodo alrede- dor del cuerpo.

3.d.3. No colocar el cuerpo entre los cables del elec- trodo y de trabajo. Si el cable del electrodo está en el lado derecho, el cable de trabajo también debe estar en el lado derecho.

3.d.4. Conectar el cable de trabajo a la pieza de traba- jo lo más cerca posible del área que se va a sol- dar.

3.d.5. No trabajar cerca del suministro eléctrico de la soldadora.

LES CHAMPS ÉLECTROMAGNÉTIQUES peuvent être dangereux

3.a. Le courant électrique qui circule dans les conducteurs crée des champs électromagnétiques locaux. Le courant de soudage crée des champs électromagnétiques autour des câbles et des machines de soudage.

3.b. Les champs électromagnétiques peuvent créer des inter- férences pour les stimulateurs cardiaques, et les soudeurs qui portent un stimulateur cardiaque devraient consulter leur médecin avant d'entreprendre le soudage.

3.c. L'exposition aux champs électromagnétiques lors du soudage peut avoir d'autres effets sur la santé que l'on ne connaît pas encore.

3.d. Les soudeurs devraient suivre les consignes suivantes afin de réduire au minimum l'exposition aux champs électromagné- tiques du circuit de soudage :

3.d.1. Regrouper les câbles d'électrode et de retour. Les fixer si pos- sible avec du ruban adhésif.

3.d.2. Ne jamais entourer le câble électrode autour du corps.

3.d.3. Ne pas se tenir entre les câbles d'électrode et de retour. Si le câble d'électrode se trouve à droite, le câble de retour doit également se trouver à droite.

3.d.4. Connecter le câble de retour à la pièce le plus près possible de la zone de soudage.

3.d.5. Ne pas travailler juste à côté de la source de courant de soudage.
