Have been doing a bit of research in the area of Laser Safety, we're looking at buying some new continuity-type testers for fibre (Model is OVF-1 Visible Fault Locator, as I gather it - A google gave me http://www.butlertech.ie/products/pdfs/ovf1.pdf) and one issue that was raised was that of safety when looking down a fibre line. Especially given that some of our newer technicians particularly, are OK with networking hardware but have relatively low levels of experience with Fibre.
I believe the traditional approach is to have a sign which states "Do not look into laser with remaining eye." JSR
