Why this sign: It should be posted at the entrance to any area where strong magnetic, electromagnetic, or electrical fields are present that could interfere with the operation of implanted cardiac devices such as pacemakers or defibrillators. Such interference can cause device malfunction, posing a life-threatening risk to the wearer. Displaying this sign gives advance warning so affected individuals can avoid the hazard entirely.

Compliance note: In Ireland, employers must provide appropriate safety signage where hazards cannot be avoided or adequately reduced by other measures, based on the workplace risk assessment, under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007. This sign is suitable for use as part of a workplace safety-signage system where identified by that risk assessment.
