Safety

Before working in any GE Healthcare MR suite or performing any GE Healthcare service procedure, you must:

Have read and understood all hazard conditions and safety requirements in the latest revision of the GE Healthcare MR Service Safety Manual (5452735).
Have successfully completed all relevant GE Healthcare Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) courses (or for non-GE employees, equivalent workplace training courses).

If you have any safety concerns at any time, do not begin work or immediately stop work and move to a safe location. Immediately contact your supervisor or site safety officer for instructions on how to proceed.

Warning

Strong magnetic field

Ferrous materials can become dangerous projectiles in the presence of the magnetic field that the magnet produces.

Do not bring any ferrous tools or equipment into the magnet room.

Warning

Electrocution hazard

Dangerous voltages are present around the magnet subsystem when energized.

Lock and tag out power to the magnet room before starting work.
