Lasers
Lasers must be designed, constructed and installed so that no person is exposed to accidental irradiation. Lasers that are capable of producing hazardous diffuse reflections or that may constitute a fire hazard, being laser classes 3B and 4, must not be used in construction work.
Any worker operating lasers must be trained in the use of the equipment. Further information on the safe use of lasers is available in AS 2397: Safe use of lasers in the building and construction industry.
