A laser processing equipment for processing a workpiece, the laser processing equipment comprising: a laser head operative to emit a laser beam; a laser containment device connected to said laser head, said laser containment device having: an outer shell at least partially enclosing a containment chamber, said outer shell being connected to said laser head so at to accommodate the laser beam inside said outer shell; a laser beam output port in a bottom face of said outer shell, said laser beam output port being operative to let the laser beam through so as to reach the workpiece; an inner wall; a peripheral chamber defined in-between said outer shell and said inner wall, said peripheral chamber being open at said bottom face, said peripheral chamber encircling said laser beam output port; characterized in that the laser containment device further comprises an inner seal mounted to said inner wall proximate said bottom face, said inner seal being operative to contact the workpiece; an outer seal mounted to said outer shell proximate said bottom face, said outer seal being operative to contact the workpiece; and in that the laser processing equipment further comprises: a pressure sensor adapted to detect a differential pressure within said peripheral chamber and to generate a signal indicative of a value of said differential pressure; a differential pressure generator connected to said peripheral chamber, said differential pressure generator being operative to generate said differential pressure at a value different from that of an ambient pressure outside said peripheral chamber; and a controller operative to selectively operate said laser head based on said signal received from said pressure sensor wherein said controller is operative to shut down an emission of the laser beam from said laser head upon receiving said signal from said pressure sensor and determining that said differential pressure within said peripheral chamber has crossed a predetermined threshold. a laser head operative to emit a laser beam;
