Abstract |
This safety guide provides information on the health hazards associated with laser radiation (especially eye and skin injuries). It explains the physical properties of optical and laser radiation, and the four different classes of lasers (in accordance with the 1984 classification published by the International Electrotechnical Commission in IEC 825). The exposure limits established by the IEC, used as guidelines in Denmark, are presented. The report also gives guidance on preventive measures (including a check list for class 4 lasers) and eye protectors. Some practical examples of laser radiation protection are included, as well as examples of private, industrial and military uses of lasers. |
