Laser Safety Fact Sheet - Information from the University of Kentucky.

Laser Safety Manual - University of Pennsylvania laser safety manual.

Laser Pointer Information Sheet - The misuse of laser pointers (sometimes referred to as laser pens) reported in the press has generated public concern over the safety of these devices. The following provides basic information on the properties of laser radiation, the different laser classes and summarises NRPB's position on the issue of the safety of laser pointers.

Laser Safety Manual - Nicely illustrated manual from the University of Waterloo.

University of Edinburgh Laser Pen Policy - Some quite powerful laser products have been on sale cheaply as toys or key rings. These devices are often wrongly labelled or have no safety guidance at all. They can cause damage to the eyes if the viewer stares into the beam for several seconds.

Lasers in Health Care - Questions and answers on the use of lasers in health care.

Misuse of Laser Pointers - The power of light emitted by these battery-operated lasers used to be less than one milliwatt (Class 2 lasers). But now the power has increased to between 1 and 5 mW (Class 3a laser) to obtain a brighter beam. Unfortunately, it also makes the laser more dangerous to the eye.

Laser Safety And The Eye - The unprotected human eye is extremely sensitive to laser radiation and can be permanently damaged from direct or reflected beams. The site of ocular damage for any given laser depends upon its output wavelength.
