Considerations About Welding And The Effects Of Low Frequency

Electric And Magnetic Fields

Welding current, as it flows through welding cables, will cause electro-

magnetic fields. There has been and still is some concern about such

fields. However, after examining more than 500 studies spanning 17

years of research, a special blue ribbon committee of the National

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:

OM-2221 Page 4

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 opera-

tor as practical.

5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as possi-

ble.
