Laser Application Environment - Indoor

If the beam is enclosed or operated in a controlled area, then only the laser is considered when evaluating an indoor laser operation. If there is a potential for the exposure of unprotected personnel, consider all optics, including mirrors, lenses, fiber optics, etc. that are a permanent part of the laser beam path. The following steps describe the procedure for evaluating the NHZ of a laser in an indoor environment:

  1. Determine and evaluate the NHZ of all possible beam paths.
  2. Determine the NHZ for specular reflections.
  3. Determine the extent of hazardous diffuse reflections if the laser beam is focused.
  4. Determine the likelihood of operation or maintenance personnel being within the NHZ during operation.
  5. Determine whether optical aids will be used within 10 cm of a highly diverging beam.
  6. Determine whether other hazards exist.
