4.2.1 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Don’t let safety be an afterthought. Before installing, servicing or calibrating review and follow
applicable policies and procedures to ensure worker safety. Machinery must be in a safe state and
be aware of any additional hazards that can arise when installing and calibrating higher force
transducers.
The following points are important to remember:
When “dead-weights” are used to produce calibration forces, always wear steel-toed
shoes.
When manually handling weights, use safe lifting practices to avoid injury.
Size cordage or straps with an ample safety factor to reduce the chances of failure and
falling weights.
Consider where the cords and weights will travel should a failure occur.
Check that all hardware is mounted with appropriate fasteners (thread size and pitch,
fastener grade, length of thread engagement).
