Safety Precautions

As in any technical activity, safety should always be a prime consideration in surface preparation for strain gage bonding. For example, when grinding, disc sanding, or filing, the operator should wear safety glasses and take such other safety precautions as specified by his organization or by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

When dealing with toxic materials such as beryllium, lead, uranium, plutonium, etc., all procedures and safety measures should be approved by the safety officer of the establishment before commencing surface preparation.
