Working with fiber lasers requires adherence to specific individual safety guidelines. One of these requirements is the use of safety glasses according to the relevant standards. The OD standard determines whether a particular pair of glasses is suitable for use with a specified laser.

Failure to use standard-compliant safety glasses can result in serious eye and skin injuries. One method to check the compliance of safety glasses is to verify that the laser specifications and OD are engraved on both the lens and frame.

The delivery of laser safety glasses is based on the order and is dependent on the laser’s power level, wavelength, and beam spot diameter.
