Laser radiation of Class 2 (US: class II)
For Class 2 (US: class II) laser is short term exposure (up to 0.25 seconds) harmless to the eyes and can
therefore be operated without additional protective measures. However it can cause irritation of the
eyes if the natural avoidance reaction (staring into the laser beam deliberately) or eyelid closure reflex is
suppressed.
– Do not suppress the eyelid closure reflex.
–
Do not stare directly into the laser beam.
– Close eyes, turn away.
– Never look at the laser beam directly with an optical instrument, e.g. a lens.

When dealing with Class 4 (US: Class IV) laser machines, it is necessary to appoint a trained laser
safety officer to evaluate potential hazards and to ensure that appropriate control measures are
implemented.
