require access to the laser and other optical components. The unenclosed beam should be
contained within a specified region by adequate control measures. Temporary control area may
be required to prevent personnel in the vicinity of the laser or its emitted beams from radiation
exposure. Consideration should be given to direct, reflected and scattered radiation.
