Safety Precautions

Laser Precautions

Warning: The laser light used to transmit information over optical ber cables can cause severe eye

damage. Because this light is invisible, it will not cause the iris of the eye to contract involuntarily as when

viewing a bright visible light, and no pain is felt as the retina is burned.

Never look into the end of a ber or connector which may have a laser coupled to it. Should accidental

eye exposure to laser light be suspected, arrange for an eye examination immediately.

General Precautions

Personnel must be thoroughly familiarized with all applicable Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S)

regulations, local regulations, and your company safety practices and policies.

Warning: To reduce the chance of accidental injury:

Before work begins, all personnel must be thoroughly familiar with the operation of all equipment

and procedures to be used during the installation.

Before use, all equipment, especially safety gear, must be inspected and tested for proper operation.

Replace and repair as necessary.
