Document details

Regulation
Work Health and Safety Act and Regulation (general duty), with safe use to AS/NZS 4173, laser classification to AS/NZS IEC 60825.1 and ARPANSA radiation protection guidance
HRCW Category
Not high risk construction work — this is a radiation-safety and clinical procedure for the use of lasers and intense pulsed light (IPL) in a healthcare or aesthetic setting. A safe work method statement is prepared to manage the laser and IPL hazard under the WHS general duty and the laser-safety standards. Class 3B and Class 4 lasers and IPL can cause permanent eye injury and skin burns, so a controlled area, protective eyewear and a Laser Safety Officer are central.
