Technicians in construction may wear hard hats and other safety gear. Working with lasers has its dangers. The electrical equipment associated with a laser could kill a careless user. Since laser beams can cause severe injury to the eye, workers must wear safety goggles when working with high-powered lasers. Technicians must be especially careful when working with lasers that emit an invisible beam.
Most laser technicians work forty hours a week.
Most of those in manufacturing work eight hours a day, five days a week. Others in the medical field may work assigned hours in surgery or other departments. In companies where twenty-four hour repair service is offered, technicians may answer service calls at all hours. The earnings of technicians vary from region to region. Salaries depend to some extent on training and experience, and also with the field in which they are employed.
