Laser safety training

LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, which emits a beam of coherent light through an optical amplification process.

Lasers are frequently used in various industries that are safe when it is used properly. At the same time, workers may be exposed to radiation, hazardous gases, molten metal, liquid chemicals, caustic fumes, and liquid chemicals, depending on the type of laser and how it is used.
