Laser Safety Standards

Laser safety standards are guidelines designed to protect people from potential harm caused by laser devices. They set limits on laser intensity, exposure duration, and safe usage practices to prevent injuries like eye damage or skin burns. These standards specify how lasers should be labeled, operated, and maintained, especially in medical, industrial, and research settings. Compliance ensures that lasers are used responsibly, minimizing risks while allowing their benefits. Overall, they serve as a safeguard, balancing technological innovation with health and safety considerations.
