High/Low Temperature Hazard - Wear
protective clothing when handling
equipment at extremes of temperature.
Materials testing is often carried out at non-
ambient temperatures using ovens, furnaces
or cryogenic chambers. Extreme temperature
means an operating temperature exceeding 60
°C (140 °F) or below 0 °C (32 °F). You must
use protective clothing, such as gloves, when
handling equipment at these temperatures.
Display a warning notice concerning low or
high temperature operation whenever
temperature control equipment is in use. You
should note that the hazard from extreme
temperature can extend beyond the immediate
area of the test.
Electrical Hazard - Disconnect the
electrical power supply before removing
the covers to electrical equipment.
Disconnect equipment from the electrical
power supply before removing any electrical
safety covers or replacing fuses. Do not
reconnect the power source while the covers
are removed. Refit covers as soon as possible.
