AS30.30-Z-0001-01A Risk Of Injury To Skin And Eyes From Laser Beams

DANGER: Never look directly into the laser beam. Do not attempt to suppress the natural reflex of the eyelids.
Avoid direct skin contact with the laser beam.
If eye damage is suspected, consult an eye specialist without delay.


Risk of injury
Class 2 lasers emit a visible radiation. Looking directly into the laser beam can result in damage to the eye.
The reflected laser beam can likewise cause damage to the eye. For this reason, avoid reflections of the laser beam by using mirrors and similar aids. Laser beams may also cause skin damage.

Safety instructions/precautions
^ Never look directly into the laser beam.
^ Do not attempt to suppress the natural reflex of the eyelids.
The eye is normally protected by defensive reactions including the reflex of the eyelid closing.

^ Avoid direct skin contact with the laser beam.
^ If damage to the eye is suspected, consult an eye specialist immediately.
^ It is prohibited to further bundle the laser beam and thus to concentrate the energy (increasing the laser class).
^ Only properly instructed personnel may be entrusted with the work on this equipment.
