The sign addresses the hazard of invisible or visible laser radiation, which can cause permanent eye damage or skin burns even from brief or indirect exposure. It is required under laser safety regulations to ensure that all persons entering the area are aware of the risk and can take appropriate precautions.

Compliance note: In Ireland, employers must provide appropriate safety signage where hazards cannot be avoided or adequately reduced by other measures, based on the workplace risk assessment, under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007. This sign is suitable for use as part of a workplace safety-signage system where identified by that risk assessment.
