A limited survey of health-related laser characteristics for selected applications in the United States
Abstract
Performance characteristics and use conditions of laser products are studied at selected operational sites in high schools, colleges, universities, and industrial construction areas in seven States. This study was performed in order to gather engineering data in support of the development of a safety performance standard for laser products. Data obtained for the 288 lasers found at 108 facilities indicated serious shortcomings in laser safety within the United States.
