3 Essentials to Comply with Laser/IPL Standards
Wherever you use a laser or IPL (controlled area) you must have the room:
- Posted with an appropriate warning sign at eye level
- Have protective eyewear provided outside the room in case personnel need to gain access
- Entryway signs that are printed in black text & the graphics on a yellow background and they need to include:
- The laser hazard symbol in accordance with AS/NZS 2211.1
- The wavelength(s) in nanometres of laser in use
- The classification of the laser
- What the appropriate eye protection is for the wavelength in use and
- Have a notation of ‘invisible laser radiation’ and/or ‘visible laser radiation’ as appropriate
