4.2.1 S AFETY C ONSIDERATIONS
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).
