Can Peoplesafe devices be used by people with pacemakers?

Peoplesafe devices use similar technologies to mobile phones for communication and magnetic charging. Therefore, they should be treated with similar precautions.

Due to the variety of pacemakers and heart conditions, we cannot provide specific medical advice regarding the impact of Peoplesafe devices on individual health.

We recommend consulting the latest NHS guidelines, which currently advise keeping mobile phones at least 15cm away from pacemakers and using a headset.

A thorough risk assessment should consider all relevant factors, including potential medical implications. It is the employer's responsibility to conduct this assessment for their staff.
