?? Class 1 Lasers: Safe by Design! ??
Class 1 lasers are considered the safest type of laser and pose no known risk of eye or skin injury under normal operating conditions. These lasers are either inherently safe due to low power levels or fully enclosed, preventing exposure to harmful beams. You’ll commonly find Class 1 lasers in everyday devices like barcode scanners and CD players.
Safety measures? Minimal! But always ensure that enclosures are intact, especially in industrial settings where maintenance might expose internal beams.
