Dear All

I am looking for some help.  What is the correct caution safety sign for Electromagnetic Radiation?

I have found a sign which shows the radiaton symbol and a magnet symbol.  Is this correct?

Your assistance with this matter is appreciated.

Thanks

Claire

I’d use this one as EMF give rise to non-ionisation radiation hazards.

The ionising radiation trefoil is inappropriate as EMF does not involve ionising radiation (alpha, beta, and gamma) and the magnet hazard symbol is more appropriate if the magnet is itself a hazard ie it yanks metal objects away or interferes with equipment. This it the symbol we use on our NMR machines.
