Sec. 50.1. Findings of fact
Latest version.
- The board finds that certain industries, trades, occupations and processes involving the use or presence of lasers involve elements of potential danger to the lives, health and safety of persons employed therein. The board finds, therefore, that special regulations are necessary for the protection of such persons in that lasers emit infrared, visible or ultraviolent coherent light which may have the property of producing deleterious effects upon the human body and within the human eye and in that other hazards associated with lasers may be present.
