Meeting Minutes: We had our first laser safety meeting with Mike Woods and these slides were presented: 231130 first laser safety meeting.pptx - We should look at commercial products to see how they are doing interlocks
- Important things that our system should have:
- Key
- Emission Indicator (red/green)
- interlocking
- (optional) Emergency OFF button
- The box should have 2 redundant interlocks in series
- If the box is made up to specs we will not need a separate laser area and will not need eye protection to operate
- Box material can be 80/20 Aluminum
- For the feedthrough we should think of having an elbow to avoid direct line of sight
- We have to take into account the fiber bend radius
- SOP is not enough, we will need a separate approval to operate
- People working on the assembly of this will need:
- People only operating will need only a simpler laser safety basic course
- Mike gave us permission to buy the laser
Next Steps: - Mike Woods asked for a component list
- Norman Picker asked us to start a Hazard list with Mitigation (All the risks will be Extremely low)
