These include, but are not restricted to, the following. However, national and industry guidelines should also be referred
to, e.g. IEC 60825-14 Section 3.3.
1. Ensure all personnel requiring access to the product are fully trained in both using the product and the general
use of Class 3B and Class 4 lasers
2. Ensure users are familiar with the hazardous properties of lasers, especially that laser safety hazards differ from
those of normal light sources as they are highly-concentrated, very low divergence beams of radiation
3. Ensure the equipment is used in a controlled area by trained end users in accordance with national guidelines
4. Ensure end-users are familiar with the operation of the laser’s key switch control, interlocks, emission LEDs and
other safety features
5. Ensure that all interlocks are connected and functioning correctly
We recommend that a copy of IEC 60285-1 is purchased by the Laser Safety Officer for reference, as well as the
aforementioned safe use of lasers guidelines.
