i dont have to worry about setting my torque wrenches back down to zero because the beam style torque wrenches dont get messed up fro turning the dail on the side up and leaving it set there. And this i know from my Co-Workers/College Instructors/Tool truck guys all saying the same thing that a beam style torque wrench doesnt have to be turned back down after use. as for recalibrating them usually best to have it done by some pace that can do it or for the few of us using Quality tools off the tool trucks can just take it back to our tool dealers and have them calibrate them.
