Mechanical construction
The showlaser must be protected against adjustments, rotations and unintended movements.
The showlaser must be installed in a way that the beam cannot emitted in an undesired way.
The optical components must be firmly fixed at the wall etc. All holding elements must also be firmly fixed.
Laser radiation must only extend as far as necessary for the show. The beam must be limited by a diffuse
surface, so that dangers due to indirect or diffuse reflections are minimized.
Control units
The control units of a showlasers must lie outside the showlaser area and the complete showlaser area must
be controllable from this point.
The laser product must only be accessible by authorized persons.
The showlaser must never be operated unattended!
During a show, the laser product must never be repaired or adjusted in a way that the laserbeam is
corrected.
Outside the laser show, the beam must be interrupted closed to the laser or be shut off.
Operating staff
The laser-light-show must only be carried out by a trained person. This person must control the laserbeam
during the show and immediately switch off the device or interrupt the laser beam in case of failure of the
device, unsecure operational conditions or unrest in the audience.
The operator has to make sure that hired persons operating laser products of the classification 2 to 4 are
trained in their behaviour.
For showlasers, the operator has to instruct the hired persons on how to keep the accessible radiation as low
as possible. The hired persons have to carry out these instructions.
At least once in a year, the operator has to make sure that the hired persons are informed upon the dangers
of laser radiation, the existing safety installations and the necessary protective measures if laser products of
the classification 2 to 4 are operated.
The operator has to make sure that only absolutely necessary hired persons can enter into the laser area.
