Laboratory risk assessment
Laser hazards Protection against the laser beam

All new installations must be subject to a risk analysis that is as exhaustive as possible. The assessment of occupational risks (EvRP) is required by decree no. 2001-1016. This analysis evolves with the project, from conception to dismantling. It is an essential part of the risk prevention process. Collective protection is to be preferred. To get a plant up and running, the initial analysis must be carried out, modified if necessary, and then validated by people independent of the project. Solutions are the result of dialogue between experimenters and safety specialists.

For a new laser experience, the first action is to look for an enclosed area that does not serve other locations. The next step is to study :

• laser installation with peripherals (power supply, gas supply, extractions, control, etc.) and additional...
