Precautions for Unenclosed Systems
During service, maintenance, or restoration, an optical fiber telecommunication system is considered unenclosed. Under these conditions, follow the practices described below.
|
CAUTION Only authorized, trained personnel shall be permitted to do service, maintenance, and restoration. |
- Avoid exposing the eye to emissions from unterminated, energized optical connectors at close distances.
- Ensure that only authorized, trained personnel use optical test equipment during installation or servicing.
- Turn off all laser sources before scanning a fiber with an optical test set.
- Keep all unauthorized personnel away from the immediate area of the optical fiber systems during installation and service.
For guidance on the safe use of optical fiber communication systems in the workplace, consult ANSI Z136.2, American National Standard for Safe Use of Lasers in the U.S. or outside the U.S., IEC-60825, Part 2.
