Laser Application Environment - Outdoor
The extent of several potentially hazardous conditions must be defined for the total hazard evaluation of a laser system. For this evaluation, 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 outdoor environment:
- Determine the NHZ of the laser.
- Evaluate potential hazards from transmission through windows and other reflective surfaces.
- Determine whether hazardous reflections exist and determine the corresponding NHZ.
- Determine whether the beam will visually interfere with critical tasks.
- Evaluate the stability of the laser platform.
- Consider the likelihood of people being in the NHZ.
- Determine whether optical aids such as telescopes or binoculars could be used within or near the beam path.
- Determine if visible lasers will be used near airports at night.
