Fiber Optic Installation Safety Rules:

1. Keep all food and beverages out of the work area. If fiber particles are ingested they can cause internal hemorrhaging

2. Wear disposable aprons to minimize fiber particles on your clothing. Fiber particles on your clothing can later get into food, drinks, and/or be ingested by other means.

3. Always wear safety glasses with side shields and protective gloves. Treat fiber optic splinters the sarne as you would glass splinters.

4. Never look directly into the end of fiber cables until you are positive that there is no light source at the other end. Use a fiber optic power meter to make certain the fiber is dark. When using an optical tracer or continuity checker, look at the fiber from an angle at least 6 inches away from your eye to determine if the visible light is present..

5. Only work in well ventilated areas.

6. Contact wearers must not handle their lenses until they have thoroughly washed their hands.

7. Do not touch your eyes while working with fiber optic systems until they have been thoroughly washed.

8. Keep all combustible materials safely away from the curing ovens.

9. Put all cut fiber pieces in a safe place.

10. Thoroughly clean your work area when you are done.
11. Do not smoke while working with fiber optic systems.
