Abstract

This paper deals with the subject of laser hazards, laser hazards control, and laser safety practices in the laboratory. Laser hazards, which fall into four categories (radiative, electrical, explosive, and toxic) are described in detail. Following this, the status of federal regulations which seek to define laser hazards control and safety standards is briefly reviewed. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of laser safety goggles and a list of suggestions of laser safety practices intended to assist those who are concerned or involved with the use of lasers in a laboratory environment.
