The Service Provider must make itself aware of, and comply with, all emergency and evacuation plans that apply to each Central Office. 41.5 Where a secure LFC Site employs a security guard, the Service Provider must report to the security guard upon accessing and leaving. 41.6 Access on public holidays can be arranged by phoning the LFC NOC.

Any conditions for use attached to the approval must be strictly adhered to. 41.13 As telecommunications equipment is very sensitive to static electricity, extreme care must be taken when working in Central Offices. Anti-static wrist straps and floor mats must be used at all times.
