Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines safety measures for the operation and maintenance of CNC laser cutters. Only trained and authorized personnel are permitted to operate the equipment, and a Laser Safety Officer must be appointed for workplaces using Class 4 lasers. General precautions include restricting access to authorized personnel, providing adequate ventilation, and using proper laser safety equipment. All entrances to laser operation areas must display appropriate warning signs.

Specific precautions involve wearing laser safety glasses compliant with BS EN207, long-sleeved clothing, and gloves to protect against high risks of eye and skin injuries. Operational guidelines emphasize ensuring all guards and covers are secured, correctly positioning materials, and maintaining vigilance during operation. Cleaning and maintenance must follow manufacturer instructions, with proper eyewear and gloves to handle optical components. Adherence to these protocols minimizes risks associated with laser operations and ensures workplace safety.
