Abstract

A hazard evaluation is really a type of risk assessment. Every reasonably foreseeable injury situation that could arise from laser equipment, laser use, and the laser-use setting, etc., should be addressed. A good way to do this is to divide the operation into discrete portions. The laser-use area should be considered as five discrete components, and there are overarching documents for management of the system.
