About Lesson

Despite their versatility, lasers pose several risks that require appropriate safety measures:

  • Eye Hazards:

    • Exposure to powerful laser beams can lead to permanent damage or blindness. This occurs when the retina absorbs excessive energy, causing thermal or photochemical injury.
    • Protective Measures: Laser safety goggles are essential for protecting against specific wavelengths.

  • Skin Hazards:

    • High-intensity laser beams can cause severe burns to the skin if prolonged exposure occurs.
    • Precaution: Wear protective clothing and gloves to minimize risk.

  • Fire Hazards:

    • High-power lasers may ignite combustible materials such as paper, plastics, or flammable liquids.
    • Safety Control: Implement fire-resistant barriers and have fire extinguishers nearby.

  • Electrical Hazards:

    • Lasers operate using high-voltage sources that could lead to electrical shocks or fires.
    • Precautions: Proper grounding and safety interlocks are critical to prevent accidents.
