To avoid personal injury, ALWAYS wear eye
DANGER
protection when working with optical fibers.
NEVER look into the end of terminated or
unterminated fibers. Laser radiation is invisible
but can damage eye tissue. NEVER eat, drink, or
smoke when working with fibers. This could lead
to ingestion of glass particles.
Be very careful to dispose of fiber ends properly.
DANGER
The fibers create slivers that can easily puncture
the skin and cause irritation.
