Laser Levels

Version: 1.0

Updated: 1 December 2024

Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines the safe operation of laser levels, focusing on mitigating risks of eye injury. Only trained and authorized personnel may use laser levels, and a Laser Safety Officer is recommended for Class 3R devices. Pre-use precautions include positioning lasers to avoid line-of-sight exposure to workers or optical instruments. Class 2 lasers are safe for brief, unintentional exposure, while Class 3R lasers require additional measures such as beam termination and avoidance of dimly lit conditions.

Operational guidelines emphasize following manufacturer instructions, avoiding direct eye exposure, and ensuring lasers are not set at eye level. Cleaning involves using soft cloths and manufacturer-recommended cleaning agents, with maintenance restricted to authorized repairers. Warning signs must be displayed in areas where lasers are used to alert personnel to potential hazards. Adhering to these protocols ensures safe and effective use of laser levels in the workplace.
