• Welders should use the following procedures to minimize exposure to EMF:
○ Route the electrode and work cables together on the same side of your body.
Secure them with tape when possible. Do not place your body between the torch
and work cables. Never coil the torch or work cable around your body. Keep
welding power source and cables as far away from your body as possible.
○ Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as possible to the area being
welded.
