Viewing Of A Laser Reflected Beam; Viewing Of Scattered Laser Beam - Datalogic UniQ 1150-1X41 Product Reference Manual

LASER SAFETY

Viewing of a laser reflected beam

This may occur when beam is reflected on a mirror surface. This type of viewing is as
danger for human eye as direct viewing of the laser beam.

Viewing of scattered laser beam

This is the most typical exposure condition when laser is scattered by at a non-reflective
surface (such as blocking element or when marking of some materials). In this case, spe-
cial filter widows and Individual Protective Devices (such as goggles) may allow full pro-
tection even for prolonged exposures if is such protective means respect applicable
norms for the type of laser radiation.

WARNING: Do not look to reflected laser beam. Individual Protection
Devices such goggles may only provide protection for a short period of time
and thus do not warrant protection for exposure to reflected laser radia-
tion.
WARNING: Many materials, including metals and plastics, have surfaces
that strongly reflect laser radiation. Make sure to use non-reflective mate-
rials for enclosures or any other machine surfaces that may be exposed to
direct or indirect laser beam radiation. Pay special attention when marking
objects with high reflectivity properties.
WARNING: Always use certified protecting goggles appropriated for the
laser radiation characteristics to which you can be exposed.
WARNING: Remember that none goggles can provide sufficient protection
for prolonged direct or reflected laser beams.
