Abstract
The findings of an interview programme carried out with a representative sample of the UK laser community in order to establish their problems and requirements with regard to laser safety is reported. The sample comprised laser manufacturers, laser users and inspectors of the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE). The results indicated that 80% of interviewees had experienced problems in using the current UK Laser Safety Standards. The usefulness of these Standards is reduced when the broader laser user community is considered. Analysis of user requirements highlighted the importance of laser application-orientated laser safety material and training. Some areas of laser safety were identified as requiring further investigation.
