Safety. London: Chapman & Hall
This easy to understand guide provides basic information about
laser safety. Intended for workers who employ lasers in the
industrial, processing, medical, entertainment and
telecommunication fields, the author presents specific examples of

radiation, and biological effects of exposure. Part Three is more
practical in approach and discusses practices for particular areas
of laser application. Intended to make standards for laser safety
easier to interpret and to help in their application by people of
