Laser Safety<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Laser safety involves much more than simply using the correct protective eyewear. A safe laser installation depends on the laser source, machine design, enclosure, interlock system, protective windows, personal protective equipment, work procedures and training working together as one complete safety system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The protective measures required depend on factors such as laser class, wavelength, power, pulse regime, process and how people may be exposed to laser radiation during normal operation, setup, service and maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LMI AB works with industrial laser technology and laser safety and offers both safety products, guidance and training in this field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Is Laser Radiation Dangerous?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Laser light differs from ordinary light in that the radiation can be highly directional and concentrated. A large amount of energy can therefore be transferred to a very small area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eye is particularly sensitive. At certain wavelengths, the optical system of the eye can also focus incoming laser radiation onto the retina, significantly increasing the power density.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At other wavelengths, the radiation is absorbed mainly by the cornea or lens of the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At higher laser powers, the skin can also be injured. Powerful industrial lasers may additionally create risks such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
