About Lesson

Establishing a Comprehensive Emergency Response Plan

  • Step 1: Risk Assessment
    Conduct a thorough assessment of potential laser hazards and their likelihood to occur. Identify vulnerable areas such as eye, skin, and fire risks.

  • Step 2: Training and Drills
    Ensure that all personnel are trained in laser safety protocols and regularly participate in emergency drills.

    • Example: A monthly drill in a laser cutting workshop where participants practice evacuation routes, use of fire extinguishers, and first-aid response to laser injuries.

Case Study: Fire Emergency

A laser engraving machine produces a spark that ignites nearby cardboard packaging.

  • Immediate Action: Evacuate the area, use a fire extinguisher to contain the fire, and alert the emergency response team for a larger fire response.
