Workplace
safety, both for the independent cable entrepreneur and the cable technician
working for a company, must be an essential part of daily practice. The problem
is that we all feel lucky, and it is often easier and faster to get into the
shortlist than the safety manual. And then, when our fortunes change, it always
worries us, as almost always.
One
thing that makes workplace safety difficult is the number of procedures and
instructions to follow. According to Mark Franks, senior training expert at the
AVO International Training Institute (Dallas, TX), "Telecommunication
cable installers must be familiar with general construction safety
instructions, as well as electrical safety and specific regulations. it applies
to low voltage sockets. The important thing to remember, however, is that low
voltage does not mean low risk. "
There
are many safety rules
Construction
site safety procedures are set out in the Federal Code (CFR), which is applied
by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA-Washington, DC).
These safety procedures have federal enforcement force and OSHA reserves the
right to inspect any job site, without notice, to make sure they are followed.
Security breaches can be severely fined.
