SAFETY AND RISK MANAGEMENT
SAFETY
• Some mechanical assemblies contain pinch points - use proper care and tools when assembling to avoid injury.
• Incandescent lights can get very hot. Use caution when moving or working around these lights, and beware of
excessive heating of the specimen, cameras, lenses, or other surfaces. Leave lights off when possible.
• When mounting cameras, it may be possible to create an unstable or unbalanced situation. Be careful not to
cantilever cameras excessively, especially heavier or high-speed cameras.
• Personnel should be in a safe location whenever a dangerous or destructive test is being performed. Various
solutions are available for extending cabling/controls to allow the system to be operated in a safe, remote location
– please contact Correlated Solutions for more details.
• Various paints, chemicals, and solvents may be used in preparing specimens for testing. Always observe label
precautions.
• If any cables become frayed or damaged, replace immediately to avoid risk of shock.
• Do not attempt to repair or disassemble the computer or any electronic parts. Risk of shock or damage may result.
RISK MANAGEMENT
• Always fully support cameras when moving, assembling, or adjusting, until all fasteners are completely tight. For
larger high-speed cameras, two people may be required. Cameras can suffer severe damage if dropped.
• Always support lenses when installing or removing. In addition, for certain lenses, during focusing operation, the
front must be supported to prevent drops.
• While most power and data connections are keyed, it may be possible to incorrectly plug in or force a USB, 1394a,
or 1394b connection. Always check orientation and compatibility before making any connection.
• For any test where excessive heat, shock, or flying debris may be present, take steps to protect the cameras and
equipment. Various shielding solutions are available – please contact Correlated Solutions for more details.
