Key Stage 3
Meaning
The hazard symbol for LASER Radiation.
LASER Radiation is an extremely intense beam of light.
About LASER Radiation
- Low power LASER Radiation (5mW) can cause blindness if it is directed at an eye.
- High power LASER Radiation can cause sever burns to the skin.
Precautions
- Never look into a LASER beam to avoid damage to the eyes.
- Do not wear reflective items such as jewelry to avoid reflection into the eyes.
- Aim the LASER so that it is difficult to pass through the beam.
