NEVER
aim any laser towards an aircraft or vehicle that is in motion. The bright light can
flashblind, cause glare, or distract the pilot or driver.
The standard reference for laser safety is the American Standard for the Safe Use of Lasers,
Z136.12000, developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). This reference is
the basis for many of the federal regulations for laser and laser system manufacturers, and for
the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) laser safety guidelines. It contains
detailed information concerning proper installation and use of laser systems. While the ANSI
standard itself does not have the force of law, its recommendations, including warning signage,
training, and the designation of a laser safety officer, may be compulsory under local workplace
regulations when operating laser systems above Class I. It is the operator’s responsibility to
ensure that the installation and operation of the Full Spectrum Laser Hobby Laser System is
performed in accordance with all applicable laws. Copies of ANSI Standard Z136.12000 are
