a traditional stringed-instrument’s tuningmechanism and tensioned. The carbon fiber is too brittle to be wrapped around a tuning pegthough, so the first step in making the string involved bonding durable ends to them; a roundwound bass string was used. The metal string portion of the composite is short so that whenmounted, the metal is not within the playable span of the string. After the ends were cured, oneend was fixed to a wooden structure five feet above the floor and the other end was fixed to acantilever setup just above the floor’s surface. When weights were added to the cantilever, thestring would be pulled in tension. Carbon fiber is brittle, so it’s difficult to find a section of towwithout a few broken fibers. With this in mind

anddocumentations are good for new employee orientations, routine safety education,recurrent trainings, and accident-prevention courses based on regulatory requirements.This stage of process could also identify safety loopholes within the operational system. Reports and feedback. The purpose of accident investigation is to identify theproblems, provide safety measures, and prevent similar problems from happening again.With this in mind, the analytical reports will be sent to a safety committee for a review ifthe calculation of Risk Index indicates a need. Also, the result and resolution needs to bedistributed to the submitters, if known. Otherwise, the summarized synopsis should beposted on a service bulletin board or to a monitoring system for a
