3.1 Operator Training
One of the more important ways to promote safety is through operator training. Benefits of
training are twofold. First, thorough training promotes safety, which may significantly reduce
injuries on the job. Second, it ensures adequate testing of the product which helps increase
product reliability.
Generally, commercial high voltage test equipment in itself is not hazardous. The hazards come
about when the equipment is improperly used. These testers, when used properly and in a safe
manner, can greatly contribute to the quality and reliability of your product. If used incorrectly
and without proper consideration for safety, they represent a hazard for both operating
personnel and casual bystanders. We strongly recommend proper training for all personnel
involved in testing.
3.2 Ergonomics
An additional consideration in any test station is operator comfort. This is affected by the
operator’s position, which includes the chair, table, test equipment, the object under test and
the test procedure itself. The chair and work bench or table should be non-conductive and the
table or work surface as large as possible to allow sufficient room for the test equipment and
the object under test. Studies should be made of the test requirements and work habits and
steps taken to ensure that any unusual or unnatural motion is not required and to eliminate any
repetitive motions that may produce injuries over time such as carpel tunnel syndrome.
