WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF LASER CLEANING TECHNOLOGY?
While laser technology is considered one of the safer methods for cleaning metal and non-metal materials, there are ways to abuse safety regulations and cause harm to yourself or other individuals. Cleaning lasers should never be used:
-
Without protective eyewear
-
Directly on the skin or body
-
In an uncontrolled environment
-
Without designated signage to warn of laser cleaning in progress
-
In the immediate vicinity of unprotected individuals
-
On anything other than it’s intended purpose
-
Without proper air filtration
In addition, cleaning non-metallic products — such as wood, paper, or plastics — should be done only with the appropriate settings and in a designated optical hazard zone. If the cleaning solution is using the wrong settings, it could ignite your appliances. As with other high-voltage items, you’ll also need the proper training to avoid electrocution and learn other electrical precautions.
