considered as suitable. Other shieldings may also be used if they comply with the
requirement of E DIN EN 12 254.
If the laser system is used in mobile performances, further special safety regulations are to
be followed:
Announcement of the Laser Show
Each
laser show must be announced to the responsible professional association
and to the trade supervisory board and must be permitted by them.
If a laser show is performed outdoor, it must be also announced to the air traffi
control or to the public order office.
Control Units
The control units of a show laser must be outside the show laser area and the complete
show laser area must be controllable from this point.
The laser product may only be accessible by authorized persons.
The show laser must never be operated unsupervised.
During a show, the laser product must never be repaired or adjusted in a way that the laser
beam is corrected.
Outside the area where the laser show takes place, the beam must be interrupted close
the laser or it must be shut off.
After moderations that might affect the safety of the show laser system (like changing the
path of the beams) it is necessary to have the system checked by experts again.
The system must be protected against unauthorized starting or operating. If the system is
not in operation, it must be ensured that the key of the system is taken off and kept safely.
Before the audience arrives, it is absolutely essential to check if every single beam still
meets its reflection mirrors, mirror balls, effect mirrors etc (beam trajectory according to the
expert). An adjustment might be required.
Operating Staff
Only qualified persons are entitled to run the laser show. These persons must control the
laser beam during the show and immediately switch off the device or interrupt the laser
beam in case of failure of the device, insecure operational conditions or commotion in the
audience (Push the Emergency-OFF-Button!).
The operator has to make sure that employed persons, who are operating laser products
of the classification 2 to 4 or who move in laser areas of the classification 3B or 4, are
qualified. The service personnel must be aware of the fact that the laser system can be a
dangerous instrument, when it is incorrectly or carelessly handled. It might cause
irreparable damage, particularly to the eyes. Therefore the laser system must always be
operated with extreme caution and consistent compliance with the safety regulations.
For show lasers, the operator has to instruct the employed persons on how to keep the
