Radiation“ BGV B2 accident prevention regulations and other documents on
safe use of lasers
Observe the precautions stated in the accident prevention regulations (BGV
B2). These include the following:
• Do not look into the beam or direct reflections, also do not look with
optical instruments.
• Clear marking of the laser area with warning signs at all access
points.
• Route the laser beam clearly below or above eye level, but not at
eye level.
The owner/operator of the laser equipment is responsible for compliance
with protection measures. The owner/operator must, among other things,
ensure that the laser device is assigned to a laser class and marked
accordingly. Operations using laser equipment classes 3R, 3B and 4 must
be registered with the trade supervisory office and the mutual indemnity
association. When operating lasers of these classes, the laser area must be
cordoned off and marked. Additionally, owners/operators of laser equipment
classes 3R, 3B and 4 must appoint an expert as the laser protection officer.
Staff operating laser equipment classes 1M, 2, 2M, 3R, 3B or 4, or who have
access to the laser area of laser classes 3R, 3B and 4, must be instructed in
the effects of laser radiation and required protective measures.
The owner/operator must provide suitable laser goggles, protective clothing
and protective gloves for operations with laser equipment classes 3R, 3B
and 4. The operator is also responsible for adherence to special safety
requirements for the operation of various laser types.
