  • Page 16 Safety Laser Class Definition Class 2 The accessible laser radiation lies in the visible spectral range (400 nm to 700 nm). It is also not dangerous for the eyes at a short exposure time (up to 0.25 s). Additional radiation components outside the wavelength range of 400 - 700 nm comply with the conditions for Class 1.
  • Page 17: Raw Material, Solvents, Oils, Greases And Other Chemical Substances

    Safety Laser Class Definition Class 4 The accessible laser radiation is very dangerous for the eyes and dangerous for the skin. Even diffusely scattered radiation can be dangerous. The laser beam can cause fire and explosion hazards. Lasers of Class 4 are high power lasers. Their radiation is so intense that damage is to be expected with any kind of exposure of the eyes or the skin.
  • Page 18: Noise

    Safety ● In the event of eye or skin contact, immediately flush the affected areas with plenty of water. Suitable facilities (eye wash bottles, wash basin, shower) must be available in the workplace vicinity! ● After washing, apply skin care to the cleaning agent and disinfectant-affected skin. Skin damage can be avoided through the preventive application of skin protection products and suitable skin care.
