WARNING
Serious
Personal
Injury
Materials processing with a laser can generate air contaminants such as vapors, fumes, and/or particles that may be
noxious, toxic, or even fatal. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for materials being processed should be thoroughly
evaluated and the adequacy of provisions for fume extraction, filtering, and venting should be carefully considered.
Review the following references for further information on exposure criteria:
ANSI Z136.1-2007, Safe Use of Lasers, section 7.3.
U.S. Government’s Code of Federal Regulations: 29 CFR1910, Subpart Z.
Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) published by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH).
It may be necessary to consult with local governmental agencies regarding restrictions on the venting of processing vapors.
