Beyond the General Duty Clause, 29 CFR 1910 contains the general industry standards that cover most fusion splicing hazards: personal protective equipment (Subpart I), air contaminants (Subpart Z), flammable liquid storage (Subpart H), respiratory protection, hazard. fCONSTRUCTION QUALITY REQUIREMENTS FOR FTTP & SSP Work Orders This document provides Construction Technicians, Construction Managers, FTTP/SSP Vendors, and Inspectors with the essential information to ensure a quality build and to successfully pass an Outside Plant Inspection. Splices are critical points in the optical fibre network, as they strongly affect not only the quality of the links, but also their lifetime. 984 standard defines protocols and procedures for efficient operation and management of fiber networks, especially in GPON systems widely used in FTTH (Fiber to the Home). In this guide, we cover the basics of fiber optic splicing, how to perform splicing using two different methods, and finally some best practices to perform good fiber splicing. Sections are included for project management; cable handling, testing and equipment; overhead cable placement; underground cable placement; underground enclosures; bonding and grounding; cable. Fusion splicing joins two fiber optic strands by melting their ends together with an electrical arc, and employers who assign this work must comply with several overlapping OSHA standards covering everything from arc-generated fumes to flammable cleaning solvents and confined-space entry.
