CAUTION: Because exposure to Class 3B laser energy can be hazardous, avoid exposure to the
beam. In addition, avoid exposure to specular, or mirror-like, reflections. Never point the
instrument at anyone.
CAUTION: If your workplace does not have established safety standards or requirements,
consult both the American National Standard ANSI Z136.1 for policies about the safe use of
lasers and the International Standard IEC 60825-14 for information about identifying and
controlling hazards of laser use.
CAUTION: Calculations performed in accordance with the recommended practices of ANSI
Z136.1 and IEC 60825-1 give a Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance (NOHD) of approximately 5.59
inches (14.2 cm) from the focal point of the lens and an estimated optical density (OD) greater
than 2.
The above MEP and NOHD were calculated in accordance with American National Standard ANSI Z136.1
and the International Standard IEC 60825-14 for Rigaku Analytical Devices by John R. Kretsch, P.E., NCE
of Interpro Consulting Engineering, LLC.
General Safety and Compliance
Although the Progeny Analyzer is designed to work in hazardous environments, it is not
inherently safe in any environment. Follow the general safety precautions and special safety
instructions in this manual to guarantee the best possible operating safety.
If the instrument, its controls, features, and options, or its accessories are used in ways not
specified either by this manual or by RAD, hazardous conditions that exceed the protection
provided by the supplied and specified equipment may occur.
Use facility procedures, instrument controls, engineering controls, and laser-safety eyewear to
avoid laser emissions within the 5.59-inch (14.2-cm) hazard zone.
Laser-safety eyewear must have an optical density (OD) greater than 2 to protect operators
from exposure above the maximum permissible exposure (MPE).
Sample setup is an important component of safe sample analysis. As a result, reduce possible
hazards by:

Always analyzing small quantities of sample substances.

Ensuring that thermally-sensitive and highly energetic samples are not sealed in
containers, jars, or vials.
Scanning thermally-sensitive and highly energetic samples in sealed containers, jars, or vials
may cause significant pressure build-up. In these cases, the sample contents may burst or
explode the containers, jars, or vials—thereby injuring operators and/or scattering the
samples throughout the surrounding area.
