Labeling of Protective Equipment

a) Labeling of Protective Eyewear

All eyewear must be clearly labeled with the optical density and wavelength. Color-coding or other distinctive identification is recommended in multi-laser environments.

b) Labeling of Laser Protective Windows and Collecting Optic Filters

All laser protective windows must be labeled with the optical density and wavelength(s) for which protection is afforded, and should be labeled with the threshold limit and exposure time for which the limit applies, and the conditions under which protection if afforded.

c) Labeling of Laser Protective Barriers

All laser protective barriers must be labeled with the barrier threshold limit and exposure time for which the limit applies, and beam exposure conditions under which protection is afforded. Contact LSO for any assistance.
