Roy 
the "gauss readings" are without a unit or reference 
that helps not much. Unfortunately there are many uncalibrated 
devices out there especially the ones of the "first" generation.
A specific value of milli-Gauss or better micro-Gauss would put this 
in the appropriate prospective. 

However proper  shielding of magnetic fields is quite difficult
the best advice is to move the work space to a safer less "radiated" 
position right away, and possibly use this space for the least 
frequently used tasks - if at all. 

If the employer sees the first quotes for the cost of proper 
shielding he will adopt only that solution.

Greetings
Wolfgang
