The following safety precautions need to be considered when performing an oxygen index test:

Limiting Oxygen Index
1. Maintain ventilation: Ensure that the test site is well ventilated so that any harmful gases can be removed in a timely manner.
2. Wear protective equipment: The test personnel should wear appropriate protective masks or masks to prevent inhalation of harmful gases.
3. Avoid sources of ignition: The test site should be kept away from open flames or other sources of ignition to avoid fire or explosion caused by the Oxygen Index test.
4. Comply with operating procedures: Operate the test equipment correctly according to the operating instructions of the equipment to avoid accidents or misuse.
5. Emergency Rescue Preparation: Ensure that the test site is equipped with first-aid equipment and train personnel to know how to deal with possible emergencies during the test.
6. Use of correct instruments and methods: Use calibrated professional Oxygen Index test instruments and follow the correct methods to perform the test. Follow the operating instructions of the instrument and test method to ensure that the test is performed accurately and safely.
7. Prevent misuse: Oxygen index test instruments usually have many buttons, switches and controls, which should be operated carefully to avoid accidental starting or stopping of the test resulting in a safety incident.
8. Avoid crossing: Cables, pipes and other equipment in the test area should be securely fastened and marked with distinctive marking devices to prevent personnel from crossing them or equipment from being accidentally touched or moved.
9. Collaboration: Oxygen index testing usually requires the collaborative efforts of several personnel, e.g., to provide the oxygen index test apparatus, to set up the equipment, to observe the results of the test, etc. The Oxygen Index Test should be carried out by a team of personnel. It is important to maintain communication and coordination to ensure that safety precautions are adequately and effectively implemented during the Oxygen Index test.
10. Prevention of accidents: During the test, it is necessary to keep an eye on the situation around the test area and pay attention to any possible danger or abnormality. In the event of an accident, stop the test immediately and take appropriate safety contingency measures.
11. Stopping the test: Upon completion of the test, the test equipment needs to be properly stopped and the test area cleaned up in accordance with the relevant requirements to ensure that the test equipment and the test area are in a safe condition.
 
Please note that these are general safety precautions and specific Oxygen Index test requirements may vary depending on the test environment and equipment. Before conducting the test, please understand the relevant test requirements in detail and follow professional guidance and operating instructions.
