A laser laboratory poses multiple safety hazards that can be harmful to individuals and equipment. Engineering and other control measures must be incorporated into the operation of lasers to maintain a safe environment.

Laser safety barriers, either movable or free-standing, are often found surrounding the laser work environment and typically create low light conditions that make it difficult to locate egress points. Kentek’s Hi Vis Curtain Door is an effective solution: installing the Hi Vis Curtain Door into a barrier system provides an easily identifiable entry and exit point, directs personnel toward emergency exits, and further enhances laser safety by deterring inadvertent entry into areas where laser hazards may be present.

The primary design element of Kentek’s Hi Vis Curtain Door is highly reflective silver tape sewn onto the curtain ends. Additionally, installing LED indicator lights integrated with Access Control systems can assist personnel in identifying whether the laser is in use by displaying a Steady Red when laser radiation is present, or, when it is safe to enter, by displaying a Steady Green.

Kentek recommends using a Hi Vis Curtain Door in curtain systems where a curtain bypass or material overlap is used as a primary access point to the laser environment. Using both the Hi Vis strip and the LED indicators greatly improves the laser safety program by providing identifiable access points and laser status.
