Abstract:
A safety apparatus for containing a release of energy from a tension stud of a rotor assembly, the safety apparatus includes an elongate member defining a longitudinal axis and at least two arms projecting away from the longitudinal axis of the elongate member. In use, in a first orientation, the elongate member is configured to be connected to a tool apparatus for applying a load energy to the tension stud and the at least two arms of the safety apparatus are configured to overlap with at least part of the tool apparatus in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the elongate member to contain the release of energy therebetween.
