Temporary Laser Controlled Area
Should overriding interlocks become necessary for special training, or during
service, or maintenance, and access to Class IIIB or Class IV lasers is possible,
a temporary laser controlled area shall be devised, following specific procedures
approved by the LSO. These procedures shall outline all safety requirements necessary
during such operation.
Such temporary laser controlled areas, which by nature will not have the built
in protective features, as defined above for a laser controlled area, shall nevertheless
provide all of the safety requirements for all personnel, both within and without
the temporary laser controlled area during periods of operation with the interlocks
defeated.
