Regulations: Title 18 Environmental Conservation Chapter 85 Radiation Protection Article 7 Laser Protection Standards 18 AAC 85.670. Exemptions (a) The following lasers are exempt from these regulations: (1) lasers during their storage, shipment, or retail sale in the course of which the laser does not emit laser radiation; and (2) lasers in such a condition that they are impossible to energize. (b) Closed installations are exempted from these regulations. A closed installation is defined as one in which the laser radiation is completely contained within an enclosure which precludes human occupancy, and any access ports are interlocked so as to interrupt the laser operation if the port is opened. (c) Persons are exempted from these requirements when the laser emission levels are shown to be not in excess of the maximum permissible exposure levels as defined in sec. 675 of this chapter. 18 AAC 85.675. Exposure level limits The maximum permissible exposure levels for laser radiation are presented in Table VII. TABLE VII MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LEVELS FOR LASER RADIATION AT THE CORNEA FOR DIRECT ILLUMINATION OR SPECULAR REFLECTION AT WAVE- LENGTH = 6943 A NON-Q- Q-SWITCHED SWITCHED CONTINUOUS PULSE 1 nsec,-1 PULSE 1 usec.- WAVE usec. 0.1 sec.

General precautions The following general precautions are required or recommended in the use of laser radiation: (1) Aiming a laser with the eye should be avoided. (2) Work with lasers should be performed in areas of high general illumination. (3) Laser beams shall be terminated by a material having reflectance and fire resistance commensurate with the power density of the beam except when the beam is intended to interact with the termination. (4) Where lasers must be used in other than closed installations, an area shall be cleared of individuals for a reasonable distance on all sides of the anticipated laser beam path. (5) Signs warning of laser operation shall be posted at conspicuous and strategic locations. The signs may be permanent or temporary depending on the type and frequency of operation. For high powered lasers, a sign such as shown below is recommended. CLICK TO VIEW CHART 18 AAC 85.690. High powered lasers The following are design requirements or recommendations for high powered laser installations: (1) The laser installation shall be provided with safety interlocks constructed so that unauthorized or transient individuals are denied access to the installation while the laser power supply is charged and capable of firing. (2) An alarm system including a muted sound, flashing light (visible through laser safety eyewear) and a countdown is advisable once the capacitor banks begin to charge. (3) Walls and ceiling shall be painted with light diffusing non-gloss paint, preferably black near the target area, and a light color elsewhere to increase the ambient illumination. Where practical and possible, it is recommended that the color of paint be chosen complimentary to the color of the laser radiation. (4) Lasers, such as solid state ruby pulsed devices, with power outputs in the megawatt and gigawatt range should be operated by remote control firing with viewing through protective shields or by television. For lower powered lasers, consideration should be given to providing protection commensurate with the risk. An alternative is to enclose the laser and beam within a light tight box. 18 AAC 85.700. Low-powered gas continuous wave and semi-conductor lasers The following are design requirements or recommendations for a low-powered gas continuous wave laser and a semi-conductor laser: (1) All unnecessary reflective material shall be eliminated from the area of the beam; (2) A diffuse matte should be used to position the beam. 18 AAC 85.710. Carbon dioxide and nitrogen gas lasers The following are design requirements for carbon dioxide and nitrogen gas lasers: (1) A sufficient thickness of firebrick, asbestos, or other fire retardant material shall be provided as a backstop for the beam to provide fire protection. (2) The use of this type of laser shall be such as to preclude the exposure of individuals to hazardous levels of ionizing and/or ultra-violet radiation. (3) Reflections of the infrared laser beam shall be attenuated by enclosure of the beam and target area or by the use of eyewear constructed of a material opaque to the carbon dioxide wavelength, such as plexiglass. 18 AAC 85.720. Precautions for outdoor use of lasers (a) All individuals lacking adequate protective clothing and eyewear, and who are not forewarned, shall be excluded from the beam path of a laser used outdoors to a distance where the power or energy density is within a permissible level. (b) The tracking of all occupied vehicles, aircraft and watercraft within a calculated hazardous distance is prohibited if the occupants are not adequately protected and forewarned. The tracking of humans within a calculated hazardous distance is prohibited if such individuals are not adequately protected and forewarned. (c) Operation of a laser in rain, snow, fog, or dust shall be done with extreme caution. (d) The beam path of a laser used outdoors shall be cleared of all objects capable of producing potentially hazardous reflections unless individuals capable of being exposed to potentially hazardous radiation are adequately protected and forewarned. 18 AAC 85.730. Personnel protection equipment (a) Personnel capable of being exposed to hazardous laser beam reflections shall be furnished and required to wear suitable eye safety shields. (b) Exposure of the skin of personnel to laser beams shall be prevented by the use of protective gloves and protective coverings or shields as required. Article 8 General Provisions 18 AAC 85.740.

Definitions Unless the context requires otherwise, in this chapter, (1) "continuous wave laser" means a laser that emanates a continuous beam as opposed to a pulsed laser; (2) "controlled area" (A) means any area in which access is controlled by a person subject to this chapter for purposes of protection of individuals from exposure to radiation and radioactivity; (B) does not include residential quarters, except that a separate room or rooms in a residential building may be set apart as a controlled area; (3) "curie" means that quantity of radioactive material that decays at the rate of 3.7 x 1010 disintegrations per second; (4) "department" means the Department of Environmental Conservation; (5) "gas laser" means a type of laser in which the laser action takes place in a gas medium, such as a continuous wave laser; (6) "laser" means light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation and is a device that emits a monochromatic, coherent beam of light, such as a light possessing a single wave length and all waves in phase; (7) "person" includes (A) a business; (B) a health facility; (C) an individual; (D) an institution; (E) a municipal corporation; (F) a partnership; (G) a political subdivision; (H) a public or private corporation; and (I) any other entity; (8) "pulsed laser" means a laser that delivers energy in short pulses, as opposed to a continuous beam in a continuous wave laser; (9) "radiation" means ionizing and non-ionizing radiation and sonic, infrasonic, and ultrasonic waves; (10) "radioactive material" means any material, solid, liquid, or gas that emits ionizing radiation spontaneously; (11) repealed 7/1/2015; (12) "uncontrolled area" means an area to which access is not controlled by a person subject to this chapter for purposes of protection of individuals from exposure to radiation and radioactive materials, and, except as described in (2)(B) of this section, any area used for residential quarters.
