Recognize the standard safety operational procedure to be fulfilled before

conducting this testing. Provide any related images or sketches illustration as part
in your discussion.
The standard safety operational procedure must be followed correctly before,
while and after conducting tensile test. For safety before start this test are:
1. Trip hazard.

Figure 1: Sign of trip hazard.

On the UTM, wires and hoses have been connected, posing a tripping danger.
To avoid stumbling over these risks, safety steps must be followed. When
working around the testing equipment, ensure employees pick up their feet
instead of dragging them and keep an eye in the route od travel for any
obstructions that might pose a trip hazard.

2. Lifting hazard.
The Universal Testing Machine (UTM) is a task that entails lifting large
objects, which can result in personal damage such as muscle discomfort, joint
pain, and tendons. In this scenario, a forklift will be needed to raise and
position the UTM. Before lifting an object, determine its size and weight, and
follow these general lifting guidelines:
i. Evaluate the lift and determine the object’s weight.
ii. Get a good hold by bending your knees.
iii. Keep your back straight and raise your legs straight up without
twisting, it is critical to raise with your legs rather than your back.
iv. If an object is too huge or heavy to lift on your own, ask for assistance.
All machine operators such as apparatus should be thoroughly trained
and licensed if mechanical help is necessary to accomplish the lifting
tasks.
 v. Never carry heavy objects higher than shoulder level. Rolling platform
ladders are provided and available for certain purposes, and they
should be used.

3. Mechanical hazard.
Moving components and clamp portions should be avoid by long hair and
hands. Personal fingers can be crushed or severed by the Universal Testing
Machine. All lengthy hair must be neatly knotted.

4. Electrical hazard.
Only qualified individuals should install, operate, service, and maintain
electrical equipment. If the instrument cannot be switched off in an
emergency, there is a danger of personal id the main switch is blocked.

5. Personal protective equipment (PPE).
According to OSHA regulations, all employees must wear and apply adequate
PPE. For correct usage and application of PPE, consult OSHA regulations.
Based on the operating technique specified in this handbook, following things
are recommended ad a minimum to minimize harm.
a. Lab coat.

a. Long pants.

b. Proper gloves (when required).

c. Close-toed shoe.

d. Safety glasses.
