The accessible laser radiation is very dangerous for the eyes and
dangerous for the skin. Even diffusely scattered radiation can be
dangerous. The laser beam can cause fire and explosion hazards.
Lasers of Class 4 are high power lasers. Their radiation is so
intense that damage is to be expected with any kind of exposure of
the eyes or the skin. In addition, there is the risk of fire or explosion
with lasers of this Class.
The operating company of the laser facility is responsible for compliance with the
protective measures.
● Provide suitable fire-extinguishing facilities.
● Ensure that the laser devices are assigned to a laser Class and are labelled
accordingly.
