NFPA 70E Article 330 Safety-Related Work Practices: Lasers applies to work practices for maintaining lasers and their associated equipment.

Lasers systems are classified by output power and wavelength and are:
Class 1: incapable of producing damaging radiation levels during operation. Example: DVD players and laser printers
Class 1M: incapable of producing hazardous exposure conditions during normal operation unless the beam is viewed with an optical instrument.
Class 2/2M: Emits in the visible portion of the spectrum and eye protection is often from the aversion response – blinking, looking away. Example: laser pointers.
Class 3/3R/3B: Hazardous if viewed directly but is considered safe if handled carefully with restricted beam viewing. Example: DVD writers.
Class 4: Can burn the skin or cause permanent eye damage as a result of direct, diffuse or indirect beam viewing. Can ignite combustible material. Examples: Industrial, scientific, military and medical use.

The question: Which Classes of lasers does your company/clients have?
Class 1
Class 1M
Class 2/2M
Class 3/3R/3B
Class 4
Not sure
None

Select all that apply

What would be cool is/are sharks with lasers attached to their heads.
