LASER HAZARDS.

Abstract

The report contains a general development of why lasers are dangerous. It is intended to be a source of safety guidelines for laser laboratory personnel. Laser hazards are analyzed from a biophysical standpoint and laser safety recommendations are proposed. A short history of laser safety is given and fifty references are cited. The latest damage threshold numbers are listed based on the laser safety conference at the University of Cincinnati in January 1968. (Author)
