Why should laser users be educated about the effects of laser radiation?

Educating laser users about the effects of laser radiation is essential for ensuring their safety and the safety of others who may be nearby. Understanding the potential hazards associated with laser use, such as eye damage, skin burns, and other health risks, empowers users to recognize the importance of implementing safety measures. By being aware of these risks, users can better appreciate the need for protective eyewear, the establishment of safety zones, and adherence to operational protocols. This education fosters a culture of safety within the workplace, ultimately reducing the likelihood of accidents and injuries associated with laser use.
