Flying Debris Hazard - Wear eye protection
and use protective shields or screens
whenever any possibility exists of a hazard
from the failure of a specimen, assembly or
structure under test.
Wear eye protection and use protective shields or
screens whenever a risk of injury to operators and
observers exists from the failure of a test specimen,
assembly or structure, particularly where explosive
disintegration may occur. Due to the wide range of
specimen materials, assemblies or structures that
may be tested, any hazard resulting from the failure
of a test specimen, assembly or structure is entirely
the responsibility of the owner and the user of the
equipment.
Hazard - Protect electrical cables from
damage and inadvertent disconnection.
The loss of controlling and feedback signals
that can result from a disconnected or
damaged cable causes an open loop condition
that may drive the actuator or crosshead
rapidly to its extremes of motion. Protect all
electrical cables, particularly transducer
cables, from damage. Never route cables
across the floor without protection, nor
suspend cables overhead under excessive
strain. Use padding to avoid chafing where
cables are routed around corners or through
wall openings.
