| General Laser Safety Guideline • Personnel within the laser-controlled area should be provided with appropriate laser protective eyewear. • Laser Work Area should be supervised directly by an individual knowledgeable in laser safety. • Laser Work Area should require approved entry of any non-involved personnel. • Terminate all potentially hazardous laser beams with a mechanical beam shutter during laser maintenance. • Use diffusely reflecting materials near the beam, where appropriate. • Secure and locate the laser such that the beam path is above or below eye level in any standing or seated position. • Have all windows, doorways, open portals...etc. from an indoor facility covered or restricted so-as-to reduce transmitted beams below appropriate ocular levels • Require storage or disabling of lasers when not in use. |
