1 Scope and object
1.1 Scope
This Guide has been prepared in order to provide information and guidance to employers and
employees in organisations in which lasers are used. It is supplementary to the safety requirements
specified in the EN 60825 series of standards on laser safety. The Guide outlines procedures for the
management of laser hazards and defines levels of competence for those who work with laser
equipment or who have responsibility for laser safety.
1.2 Object
The object of this Guide is to assist organisations in which lasers are used to adopt appropriate
organisational arrangements covering the implementation and maintenance of effective control
procedures as required by EN 60825-1 and by other standards in the EN 60825 series, and to ensure
that persons using, controlling, or working with laser equipment, and those having responsibility for
laser safety, have the necessary knowledge, understanding and ability to carry out their work without
placing themselves or others at any undue health risk.
The Guide defines the employer’s responsibility for laser safety, establishes a system of safety
management to meet the practical needs of organisations using lasers, and sets out minimum
standards of competence in order to help employers to determine the safety training needs of their
employees.
