Laser Safety Training Understanding Risks Classifications and OSHA Compliance

Laser safety is vital in workplaces where laser systems are used, as laser radiation can cause severe eye injuries, skin burns, and even fire hazards.
Understanding laser classifications—from Class 1 (low risk) to Class 4 (high risk)—helps evaluate the level of danger, especially since Class 3B and Class 4 lasers pose a serious risk of permanent retinal damage. Key control measures include engineering controls, laser protective eyewear, beam enclosures, and compliance with OSHA regulations and ANSI Z136.1 laser safety standards.
Direct or scattered exposure to high-power lasers can lead to photochemical or thermal injuries, depending on the wavelength and duration of exposure. Proper training in laser safety procedures ensures hazard recognition, exposure control, and safe operational practices.
