Our commitment to Laser Safety
Laser safety is a serious matter that requires knowledge of relevant standards, products, and practical experience. At Rockspoon Industries, we pride ourselves on providing the correct advice on laser safety standards, safety products, and training, combining this knowledge with practical experience.
Each Laser application has hazards, and administrative controls are required. In addition, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Barriers are needed to ensure a safe working environment.
Laser Industries and our partners, Rockspoon Industries, can assist with assessing situations and recommending correct safety products that are compliant with the relevant Australian and New Zealand standards.
All Rockspoon Laser machines include quality recommended safety goggles and Training for LSO and Operator Training.

The main Australian and New Zealand laser safety standards are listed below. In general Australia and New Zealand adopt international laser safety standards. There is often a delay between when the international standards released and the official adoption of those standards in Australia and New Zealand. However, using the latest international standards would be considered best practice in the industry.
On the 12th of November 2014, Standards Australia published AS/NZS IEC 60825.1:2014 which is an equivalent standard to IEC 60825-1 Ed. 3.0 that was released in May 2014.

Laser Safety Eyewear PPE
Safety — Comfort — Compliant
Laser Safety with Rockspoon Industries supplies filtered laser safety eyewear for our specific Laser machine wavelengths and are hard coated with Australian specifications manufacturer guaranteed.
Filters and eye protectors against laser radiation
(laser eye-protectors: AS/NZS 1337.4:2011
The PPE is from absorptive dyes moulded into the eyewear and the laser safety ratings of eyewear provided by Rockspoon Industries are compliant with the Australian and New Zealand standards.
Using advanced interferential filters technique means that besides the blocked wavelength/s nearly all the light passes the filter without attenuation resulting in high visible light transmission (VLT) specifications which aid in better visibility on the workpiece on-site or in the workshop.
