A
An indicator light to inform personnel near the gauge that laser radiation is being emitted.
A mechanical device to physically block the laser beam from exiting the gauge.
An interlock circuit to shut off the laser when the circuit is opened.
All hazards must be properly identified with warning labels.
These basic safety features are incorporated to promote safe operation of the laser.
A class IIIb laser must also have a key switch to power the laser, ensuring that only trained personnel can operate the instrument. Because the location of the gauge can often make it difficult to access a key switch, the key switch needs to be installed by the final user. It should be placed in a location that will be readily accessible to the operators. For more information on installing the laser key switch, see the Installing the System section.
The user of a laser device must comply with a different set of regulations. Many countries and individual states have passed legislation regarding the use of laser products.
