1-5 EMF Information
Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized
electric and magnetic fields (EMF). The current from arc welding
(and allied processes including spot welding, gouging, plasma arc
cutting, and induction heating operations) creates an EMF field
around the welding circuit. EMF fields may interfere with some
medical implants, e.g. Pacemakers. Protective measures for
persons wearing medical implants have to be taken. For example,
restrict access for passersby or conduct individual risk assessment
for welders. All welders should use the following procedures in
order to minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:
1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them, or
using a cable cover.
2. Do not place your body between welding cables. Arrange
cables to one side and away from the operator.

3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body.
4. Keep head and trunk as far away from the equipment in the
welding circuit as possible.
5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as
possible.
6. Do not work next to, sit or lean on the welding power source.
7. Do not weld while carrying the welding power source wire
feeder.
About Implanted Medical Devices:
Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor and
the device manufacturer before performing or going near arc
welding, spot welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or induction
heating operations. If cleared by your doctor, then following the
above procedures is recommended.
