Introduction This Program provides supervision, employees and safety managers with general safety rules, task safety procedures and best techniques for installation of quality fiber optic cable systems (cable handling, splicing, pulling, terminating testing and trouble. Besides the usual safety issues for all construction, generally covered under OSHA rules in the US (OSHA 10 and 30), fiber optics adds concerns for eye safety, chemicals, sparks from fusion splicing, disposal of fiber shards and more, covered in Part 1. It is the. Recognizing the potential safety hazard inherent in the installation and maintenance of optical fibers is crucial to mitigating risks of personal or property damage. Fiber optic cables, with their delicate nature and light-carrying capabilities, require stringent safety protocols. Eye Safety Optical sources used in fiber optics, especially LEDs used in premises networks, are of much lower power levels than used for laser surgery or cutting materials. Even the output of OTDRs, WDM and fiber amplifier systems, which are. This document describes some basic safety information applicable to Optical fiber cable installation & storage. Personnel involved in Optical fiber cable installation must be aware of all. Risk Assessment for working with optical fibre cabling A risk assessment or SWMS or JSA or JHA or Safe Work Procedure needs to determine what work is conducted on Cm3 client sites that involves the practice of optical fibre splicing, and to ensure your workers adopt safe work practices to prevent.
