The top ten things a fibre optic splicing engineer should consider when working safely include wearing appropriate PPE, using proper handling techniques, properly labelling and identifying cables, verifying power sources are disconnected, using proper lighting, following industry. he fiber be examined with an eye-loupe for a satisfactory cleave, only an eye-loupe contain opriate filter shall be used. 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 shooting tasks). The best way to protect people is to eliminate the hazard or risk and second best, minimize it. All areas used by the public shall be maintained free from debris or equipment that may constitute slipping, tripping, or any other hazard. Before splicing, according to the material and type of the optical fiber, set the key parameters such as the optimal pre-melting main melting current and time, and the amount of fiber feeding. This document describes some basic safety information applicable to Optical fiber cable installation & storage.
