Abstract:
A safety apparatus for containing a release of energy from a tension stud of a rotor assembly. The safety apparatus includes a containment member configured to pivot about a pivot location. The containment member includes a tail located on a first side of the pivot location, an elongate region on a second side of the pivot location, the elongate region defining a longitudinal axis and an arm located towards a distal end of the elongate region and projecting away from the longitudinal axis. The containment member is configured to be connected to a tool apparatus. In use, the containment member is configured to pivot between an open position and a containment position in which the arm overlaps with at least part of the tool apparatus in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the elongate region to contain the load energy within the safety apparatus.
