MIL-STD-2042-6B(SH)
d. Safety glasses shall be worn when handling bare fibers. Always handle optical fiber cable carefully to avoid personal injury. The ends of optical fibers may be extremely sharp and can lacerate or penetrate the skin or cause permanent eye damage if touched to the eye. If the fiber penetrates the skin, it most likely will break off, in which case the extraction of the fiber should be performed by trained medical personnel to prevent further complications.
e. Never look into the end of a BOF tube. Always wear approved safety glasses when handling BOF tubes that may be connected to a pressure source.
f. Wash your hands after handling bare fibers or performing fiber terminations.
g. Observe all warning signs when handling solvents and epoxies. Become familiar with the first aid instructions for these agents.
h. Do not eat or drink in the vicinity of bare optical fibers. Ingested optical fibers may cause serious internal damage.
