| Abstract |
The characteristics of laser emission and the different types of laser are reviewed. Hazards associated with the high voltages employed and radiant heat are examined: radiation hazard for the eyes, maximum permissible exposure. Standards at present being prepared by the International Electrotechnical Commission are described. Protective measures recommended relate essentially to protection against thermal radiation effects and vary according to the type of work (machining, metrology, holography, construction industry). Apparatus for measurement of the energy and power of lasers, and protective glasses available in France, are listed, with requirements for safety glasses. |
