REFLECTION HAZARDS
The following types of reflection exist
reflective directed diffuse
Reflection hazards
HIGH MEDIUM LOW
DANGER POSED BY A DEFECTIVE FIELD LENS
(Source DGUV technical committee information sheet no. FA ET 2)
INDICATORS ARE E.G.:
•Deterioration in the cutting result
•Emission of whitish or reddish dust in the area of the cutter head or
•the laser unit
•Lens fragments in the cutter head or in the beam guidance. Powdery deposits in the colors white, gray and red.
16

Laser machine hazards
HAZARDS INCLUDE E.G.:
Thermal decomposition produces smoke from selenium and zinc oxides. It is deposited as a white powder. Elemental
selenium can also be deposited as a gray or red powder. There is a risk of poisoning if inhaled or swallowed. Given
that the smoke is deposited on cold surfaces near the evaporation, there is only a risk of inhaling the smoke in the
immediate temporal and spatial vicinity of the incident.
For selenium and its inorganic compounds, including the oxides of selenium, a binding work limit (OEL) of 0.05 mg/
m3 (inhalable fraction), short-term value category II, exceedance factor 1 is specified in the TRGS 900 “Occupational
Exposure Limits”.
For zinc oxide smoke, the Senate Commission for the testing of hazardous substances has published a MAK value
(maximum workplace concentration) of 1 mg/m3 (alveolar fraction), short-term value category I, exceedance factor 1 in
the 2007 list of MAK and BAT values.
Carcinogenic effect: The Senate Commission for the testing of health agents classified selenium and its organic
compounds, including the oxides of selenium, in category 3B: suspected carcinogenic effect in the 2007 list of MAK and
BAT values.
The coating of the lenses can contain thorium fluoride. Thorium is a radioactive element. The amount of thorium in
the coating as well as the area of the lens surface affected by the decomposition result in radiation exposure, even in
unfavorable cases, which is usually far below the limits of the Radiation Protection Ordinance.
PROTECTIVE MEASURES INCLUDE, FOR EXAMPLE:
•If you notice an unpleasant smell or unusual noises, switch off the machine using the “emergency stop” function
•Leave the area close to the machine (area of approx. 10m-20m around the machine) e.g. wait at least 30 minutes
until the reaction has subsided
•Ensure that the area around the machine is well ventilated
•When approaching the machine, pay attention to the formation of odors
•Remove all lens fragments
•Clean the beam guidance and cutter head with a damp cloth and remove all powdery deposits (industrial vacuum
cleaner class H)
•It is essential to use protective gloves and a filtering dust mask (FFP3) when cleaning
•Use protective gloves made of nitrile rubber or PVC
THE FOLLOWING MUST BE OBSERVED FOR DISPOSAL:
•All lens parts, cleaning cloths with powder residues and damaged protective equipment must be collected in a
plastic bag
•The bag must be sealed airtight aer completion of the work
•The bag must then be disposed of properly
17
