Procedure for the assessment of LASER Systems

The LASER system falls into class 1, but it incorporates an embedded class 3B or 4 LASER.

Verify that the following conditions are met:

• presence of a LASER controlled area delimited by protective guards to prevent involuntary access to the radiation from the higher class LASER, connected to the interlock system;
• display of hazard warning signs, indicating class and type of emitted radiation, at each entrance to the LASER controlled area;
• workers' training on specific risks arising from LASERs;
• maintenance operators that have to enter the LASER controlled area shall follow the indications of this procedure for safely using the LASER of the corresponding class (3B or 4). 

Result of the check:

• All conditions are met
• One or more conditions are not met
