Although laser beam hazards are more well-known, non-beam hazards (NBHs) pose an equal or possibly greater risk of injury or death. As laser technologies increase and new hazards are discovered, a greater number of ancillary or NBHs will need to be considered for a safe work environment. There are several non-beam-related hazards that can be classified into three categories: chemical, physical, and biological. Expertise in the occupational health area is not required for laser users and Laser Safety Officers (LSOs) but an awareness of such hazards is important. Occupational Hygienists and other safety professionals can perform an evaluation and advise on specific controls to mitigate these hazards.Although laser beam hazards are more well-known, non-beam hazards (NBHs) pose an equal or possibly greater risk of injury or death.
