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 a federal enforcement force and OSHA reserves the
right to inspect any job site, without notice, to make sure they are followed.
Security breaches can result in security breaches.
While
cable installers rely on common construction safety standards like all other
workers, their main areas of concern are electrical safety and low voltage.
Work practices on electrical safety are found in 29 CFR 1910.331-335, while low
voltage safety practices fall below 29 CFR 1910.268.
Although
the telecommunication level, which applies to lines that operate less than 50
volts, is not as harsh as the electricity level, Franks says that low voltage
systems can be not only dangerous, but deadly. "They can release a tenth
of an ampere," he says, "which can be fatal when given in the heart
area, where it can cause cardiac fibrillation." Shock caused by DC power
sources, such as batteries that support uninterruptible power supplies (UPS),
can be fatal in certain situations.
