Appendix D – Safety Hints
Customer safety is a concern we would like to address in a sensible and
proactive manner. To this end, the following notes have been provided
as a reference to help installers remain safe and think about safety in all
aspects of the installation.
The following notes are to be considered as informational only, and not
exhaustive or complete.
D.1 Lightning
Never attempt to install the DU outdoors while a lightning storm is in
progress in your immediate or neighboring vicinity. The National
Lightning Institute says for every five seconds between the flash of
lightning and a thunderclap, the lightning is one mile away. If lightning
is within 3 miles (15 second count between flash and thunder) of your
location, do not attempt an installation.
D.2 Working Aloft
When working aloft, it is best to work in pairs. Avoid attempting
procedures alone that are best carried out with a spotter or by two
people.
