Laser Safety Inspection Checklist

This laser safety inspection template supports safe operation in laboratories and workshops. It guides auditors through context checks such as signage, laser class, interlocks, access control, and current work activities. It reviews the work environment including induction records, responsible persons, user authorizations, window coverings, ventilation, housekeeping, and firefighting equipment. It covers engineering controls like enclosed beam paths, secure mounts, grounding, flight tubes, beam dumps, key control, guards, interlocks, emergency stops, access interlocks, communications, oxygen alarms, and egress. Administrative controls include risk assessments, emergency procedures, local rules, open beam justifications, registration of lasers, and alignment cards. It also checks PPE for eyewear compliance and care, plus non laser hazards such as gases, ventilation, noise, electrical testing, high voltage, manual handling, and temperature extremes. Finally it prompts recommendations and assurance levels.
