Lasers can provide very intense beams of radiation. All lasers are potentially hazardous and require safety precautions. Work involving invisible laser radiation, or high power lasers, requires particular care. The School Laser Safety Supervisor will be able to provide advice.
Specific training is provided to all registered laser workers.
A copy of the University local rules for lasers will be supplied. Work with lower powered lasers may be undertaken after instruction from the supervisor of the apparatus. It is essential for your safety, and the safety of others, that the rules given in the above mentioned booklet are followed. The full University Local Rules for Work with Lasers should be consulted to find out more details.
