Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
The board finds that certain industries, trades,
					 occupations and processes involving the use or presence of lasers involve
					 elements of potential danger to the lives, health and safety of persons
					 employed therein. The board finds, therefore, that special regulations are
					 necessary for the protection of such persons in that lasers emit infrared,
					 visible or ultraviolent coherent light which may have the property of producing
					 deleterious effects upon the human body and within the human eye and in that
					 other hazards associated with lasers may be present.
New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 12 - DEPARTMENT OF LABOR › Chapter I - Industrial Board Of Appeals › Subchapter A - The Industrial Code › Part 50 - Lasers › Section 50.2 - Application

				  powers and jurisdiction of the New York State Department of Health or the New
				  York City Department of Health. This Part (rule) also applies to every person
				  subject to the jurisdiction of the Labor Law who, in any industry, trade,
				  occupation or process, engages in the installation, testing or servicing of any
				  such laser or laser equipment that may result in the exposure of such person to
