JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER

1926.102(c)(2)(i)

Employees whose occupation or assignment requires exposure to laser beams shall be furnished suitable laser safety goggles which will protect for the specific wavelength of the laser and be of optical density (O.D.) adequate for the energy involved. Table E-2 lists the maximum power or energy density for which adequate protection is afforded by glasses of optical densities from 5 through 8. Output levels falling between lines in this table shall require the higher optical density.

1926.102(c)(2)(ii)

All protective goggles shall bear a label identifying the following data:

1926.102(c)(2)(ii)(A)

The laser wavelengths for which use is intended;

1926.102(c)(2)(ii)(B)

The optical density of those wavelengths;

1926.102(c)(2)(ii)(C)

The visible light transmission.
