Lasers are widely used in manufacturing processes, including cutting, welding, and marking. These applications often involve high energy levels, making safety planning critical.

Protective eyewear, beam enclosures, and interlocks are commonly used to reduce exposure risks. Selecting eyewear with appropriate wavelength coverage and optical density helps ensure effective protection.

Training and clear procedures also play an important role. Operators who understand hazards are better equipped to follow safe practices and recognise potential risks.

Regular equipment inspections and maintenance help ensure protective measures remain effective over time.
