The use of hazardous lasers with high radiant powers (typically from 200mW to 40W+ i.e. class 3B &4 lasers) requires action to control the risk of a significant eye injury.
High power lasers with radiant powers that exceed around 500mW may also burn skin on contact and can be a fire risk.
Lighting carries many potential risks including those associated with heat, electrocution, falling from height and falling equipment.
There are multiple potential risks for follow spot operators including fatigue, working at height, heat, electricity, eye damage and burns.
Strobe lighting effects can triggering seizures in individuals with photosensitive epilepsy, cause eye strain or injury, induce dizziness and/or disorientation, and create hazards in environments where clear visibility is crucial, potentially leading to accidents.
