Equipment Use - Test Instruments and Equipment |
||||||
|
Testing instruments and equipment are subject to damage much like other
portable equipment. Since test instruments are utilized in different work environments,
they are prone to misuse. The following regulations for their use and handling were
developed. Only qualified persons may perform testing work on electric circuits or equipment. Test instruments and equipment and all associated test leads, cables, power cords, probes, and connectors shall be visually inspected for external defects and damage before the equipment is used. If there is a defect or evidence of damage that might expose an employee to injury, the defective or damaged item shall be removed from service, and it will not be used until necessary repairs and tests to render the equipment safe have been made. Test instruments and equipment and their accessories shall be rated for the circuits and equipment to which they will be connected and shall be designed for the environment in which they will be used. |
