General-duty citation text
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to: (a) Coherent light that can cause irreversible damage to the skin and/or eyes. One feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to perform an overall hazard assessment and develop a written standard operating procedure (SOP) detailing methods to minimize exposure through engineering and work practice controls. Essential elements of a SOP would include: 1) Appoint a Laser safety officer. 2) Calculate the level of direct, reflected or scattered radiation during normal operations and the nominal hazard zone. 3) Train Laser operators and helpers on hazards and safe operations. 4) Implement appropriate beam guarding.
