5、er Optic Training and Awareness Education RATIONALEThe Aerospace industry has always required the highest standards of workmanship to be maintained. To ensure that the Aerospace fiber optics industry adopts these same high standards, its essential that minimum training and certification requirements
6、 be established. This document outlines the minimum training requirements for all personnel working or associated with fiber optic components or systems in accordance with aerospace industry best practices. 1. SCOPE This document establishes training guidelines applicable to fiber optic safety train
7、ing, technical training and fiber awareness for individuals involved in the manufacturing, installation, support, integration and testing of fiber optic systems. Applicable personnel include: ManagersEngineersTechniciansLogisticiansTrainers/InstructorsThird Party Maintenance Agencies Quality Assuran
8、ce ShippingReceivingProductionPurchasing1.1 Purpose Whilst it is vital for individuals involved in the preparation, assembly, installation, testing and day-to-day support and supervision of fiber optic installations to receive effective safety and technical training, all other personnel employed in,
9、 orentering a fiber optic environment also have considerable responsibilities to ensure the maintained integrity of the fiber optic installation achievable through awareness training. SAE ARP5602 Page 2 of 11This document establishes guidelines applicable to fiber optic safety training, technical tr
10、aining and fiber awareness for individuals involved in the manufacturing, installation, and support of fiber optic systems. This document is not intended to impose specific training requirements on individual employers or organizations. Rather, it is intended to provide core competencies to enable i
11、mplementation of effective fiber optic training programs. It is not perceived that this document will create or impose conflict with other organizations or existing training plans. Where there is difference between this document and the vehicle specification or contract, the specific vehicle specifi
12、cation or contract shall take precedence. Where the design is such that the methods herein cannot be implemented, users will submit relevant information or modifications to existing methods to the specified sponsor of this document for review. The training guidelines contained within this document a
13、re intended for, but not limited to, managers, technicians, logisticians, trainers, instructors, third party maintenance agencies, quality assurance and procurement. A “Fiber Optic Awareness” certification should also be required for all personnel employed in a fiber optic environment but NOT direct
14、ly employed on fiber optic installations. This certification should attest to the successful completion of the detailed requirements at a qualified training facility/at place of employment. This information should not be seen as a “one-off“ information briefing provided during induction training but
15、 more of an annual awareness program where personnel are reminded of their responsibilities with respect to working in the vicinity of fiber optic installations. In addition, individuals should also be made aware of any new fiber optic issues within the workplace.2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS The followin

HOW TO USE THIS DOCUMENT This document is intended to be used
33、 as a guideline for all persons conducting aerospace fiber optic training. This training document is broken into 10 slash sheets. Each slash sheet contains detailed training competencies. The detailed training competencies describe the level of knowledge each student should have about that particula
34、r item. 4. SAFETY It is the responsibility of every employer to preserve, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare of all employees. Common hazards often include chemical, optical power, fiber fragments, environmental, explosive and personnel.Employers should ensure that m
35、aterial safety data sheets (MSDS), first aid kits and eye wash stations are available in all areas where fiber optic work is being conducted. Fume hoods should be utilized where applicable. General awareness of working around aircraft and other potentially explosive environments is a consideration w
36、hen utilizing any arc fusion splicers, curing ovens, ultrasonic cleaners or other electrical or electronic devices. In addition, all employees have a duty of care to their work colleagues. It is the responsibility of every employee while at work to take reasonable care for his/her own health and saf
37、ety and of other persons who may be affected by his acts or omissions at work with regard to: SAE ARP5602 Page 5 of 114.1 Handling Particular care should be taken when handling fibers. Flying glass fragments are often the result of cutting and cleaving operations and often go unnoticed. Glass fibers
38、 are small enough to puncture the skin and can remain under the skin surface. Besides being an irritant, fragments of glass fibers are not easily seen and can be difficult to remove. It is particularly important to prevent stray fragments from entering the eyes where removal is even more difficult.
39、Clear lenses can deflect a stray fiber end and can prevent it from piercing the eyeball or prevent minute fragments from entering the eye. Safety glasses and protective clothing must be worn when working with fibers. Further information on eye safety precautions can be found in references 2.2 and 2.
40、3 to this document. Eating and drinking in the vicinity of fibers increases the risk of accidental ingestion of glass fibers. All eating and drinkingmust not be permitted. In addition, fiber fragments can adhere to skin oils so after working with fibers, individuals must ensure their hands are thoro
41、ughly washed prior to coming into contact with the face or eyes.During installation and repair, all snipped or cleaved pieces of optical glass fibers must be placed in appropriate dedicated disposal containers. Placing fibers on an adhesive tape strip can be dangerous and must not be encouraged. Fib
42、er waste must never be placed in ordinary garbage for routine disposal. Cables with exposed fiber ends must be adequately protected or positioned to preclude accidental skin puncture or eye damage. The most effective defense against fiber-related injury is common sense.Unmated connectors and fibers
43、may transmit non-visible radiation and direct viewing with the eye must be avoided at all times. Active fiber optic systems are not to be inspected with optical magnifying scopes. Protective end caps and connector covers must always be utilized on all unmated connectors. 4.2 Optical Power Source Alt
44、hough the optical power level in installations can be relatively low, the minute dimensions of fiber cores and semiconductor sources makes it possible for intensities to attain surprisingly high values. If an optical cable is disconnected or broken and the exposed end is examined, there is a risk of
45、 eye damage. This risk can be exacerbated if a magnifier or other visual aid is used. It should always be assumed that a system is switched on until test equipment can verify the status of optical sources. Moreover, in applications that require higher intensity optical sources, system designers must
46、 include additional safety precautions to ensure the safety of maintenance personnel. 4.3 Lasers and Light Emitting Diodes (LED) Lasers commonly used as fiber sources operate at wavelengths of 850, 1300 and 1550 nanometers, which are all in the infrared part of the light spectrum. Lasers differ from
47、 LEDs in the fact that they are coherent, collimated low divergence and have small spot sizes. The 850 and 1300 wavelengths, along with visible light are focused by the eye onto the retina. Retinal receptors are particularly sensitive to the 400-700 nanometers wavelength range, but not to wavelength
48、s outside the range, herein lies the danger. The laser will continue to focus on the sensitive retinal tissue even though the individual is unable to perceive the intense light from the laser. At the focal point, energy density can be high enough to burn the tissue, resulting in blind spots in the i
49、ndividuals visual field or loss of visual activity. This may still occur even though lasers involved with fiber use are actually of low power compared to other laser types. The class of an individual laser depends on its operating wavelength, its output power, and whether it is pulse or continuous wave. The concentration on low power infrared lasers is sufficient for fiber optic theory. Lasers / LEDs are classified into four g
