Modern Permanent Magnets can attract steel objects or other magnets from large distances and cause trapping injuries. Strong magnets should not be given to children. |
 |
Many Magnets are brittle and may shatter if they are allowed to 'jump' together or they jump onto a steel surface. Always wear eye protection if this is likely to happen. |
 |
Strong Magnets may affect or interfere with sensitive electronic instruments. Always keep magnets at least 300mm from such devices. |
 |
Magnets can destroy information stored on magnetic media such as credit cards, floppy discs and computer hard drives. Keep them at least 300mm away. |
 |
Analogue watches, televisions and computer monitors can be permanently damaged by placing magnets near them. |
 |
Users of heart pace makers should avoid being near magnets. |
 |
Do not use magnets in explosive atmospheres.
