HEALTH AND SAFETY

 

 

 

 

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.
