What resources provide guidance for laser overexposures and accidents?

The BE Guide for Lasers/Optical Radiation is a comprehensive resource specifically designed to address laser safety, including guidance on what to do in the event of laser overexposures and accidents. It contains information on the biological effects of laser radiation, recommended safety measures, and procedures for dealing with exposure incidents. This ensures that those working with lasers are well-prepared to respond effectively to potential safety hazards, emphasizing the importance of having a reliable reference for best practices in laser safety.

While other resources such as the Corporate Safety Manual, the OSHA Laser Safety Guide, and the AFI 48-139 Manual may provide useful information about general safety standards and protocols, they are not as focused or detailed specifically on laser overexposures and accident scenarios. They may contain broader safety information or regulations but lack the targeted guidance found in the BE Guide that is essential for handling laser-specific incidents.
