What must personnel ensure regarding laser safety precautions?
Personnel are to ensure that these safety precautions are to be followed at all times.
What are the two types of laser hazards?
The two types of laser hazards are beam hazards and non-beam hazards.
What are beam hazards?
Beam hazards are the hazards directly associated with the energy emission of the laser beam and can cause skin damage or eye damage.
What are non-beam hazards?
Non-beam hazards are associated with the equipment, such as electrical hazards from the power supply and chemical hazards from the toxic materials used in lasers.
Are non-beam hazards specific to laser systems?
No, non-beam hazards are generic hazards and are not specific to laser systems.
Why are beam hazards unique to lasers?
Beam hazards are unique to lasers due to the nature of laser light and the ability for the hazard to extend far from the equipment.
Do non-beam hazards need to be identified and assessed?
Yes, non-beam hazards still need to be identified and assessed.
