Chula Vista police arrested a teenager Sunday night after he allegedly shined a laser pointer at a police helicopter.he San Diego police helicopter reported that a laser engraving machine was shined at crewmembers at about 9:40 pm The crew determined where the light was coming from and radioed the location to Chula Vista police. Patrol officers found the teen lying in his yard at 295 Shirley Street when they arrived.
"It's dangerous to be pointing a laser at anyone," Collum said. "It's even more dangerous to be pointing a laser at someone who is flying an object overhead. And then lastly, it's against the law. Don't point a Green Star Laser Pointer 10mW at helicopters or planes, or anyone else for that matter."
A suite on the ground floor of that same office building, with a window facing directly onto a footpath and car parking spaces, sets up the same 532 nm Laser Pointer . In this case, appropriate window coverings must be installed to prevent accidental transmission of the beam through the windows, to protect against injuries due to accidental transmission of the beam to those people walking past the window, or getting in and out of their cars. The specifications for appropriate window coverings will be addressed further on in this text.
Administrative controls are the infrastructure of the laser safety program. These must be in place before the laser can be used, and include: appointment of a 50mw Green Laser Safety Officer (LSO), organization of a safety committee (LSC), development of documentation tools, education and training of all personnel, compliance with Occupational Health and Safety rules, development of a formal audit and technical management plan. These are the control measures most often
A written safety plan should be completed, and kept in a book at the laser engraving machine use site. This should include all policies and procedures, safety set-up checklists, procedure log sheets, verification of education and training of all personnel, credentials roster , documentation forms, audit reports, and materials supplied by the manufacturer regarding operation of the equipment and accessory devices. Everyone involved should become familiar with this book, as it is the medical-legal documentation of safe practices.
The LSO is the person who has responsibility for the management of risk, and the authority to ensure compliance with all applicable standards and rules. This person should be competent to assess all systems, and validate the knowledge and skills of all personnel involved in the laser practice.
