5.1 The program makes available to students and the public accurate
information about potential workplace hazards associated with magnetic
fields.

Explanation:
Information regarding the potential dangers of implants or foreign bodies in students must be published
and provided to students and the public. Programs must establish a safety screening protocol which

students are mandated to notify the program should their status change.
