SUMMARY:Laser Safety - AILU workshop
DESCRIPTION:Introduction\n \nChair: Bethan Smith (MTC) \nLaser safety is of paramount importance to ensure that the laser can be a manufacturing tool that is implemented widely and not considered a high-risk technology. Modern PPE\, guarding and accessories make laser safety possible in a research or manufacturing environment.  \nWhat should be considered to enable the safe use of lasers? It is not only about the laser beam\, which can be stopped using interlocks\, guarding and PPE. Other risks are also significant. Laser processes\, like conventional processes\, generate fume that is hazardous to the operators and any personnel nearby. There are other risks to consider too. \nThis workshop will set out the latest amendents to the laser safety standards\, discuss the latest evolutions of PPE for laser processing and consider how automation is a good alternative to reducing the skill required and the risk to operators when using hand held laser welders. \nWho should attend?:\nAnyone with a safety role in an organisation where lasers are currently in use (or being considered for use).\nAnyone about to buy or currently using a hand held laser system.\nAnyone interested in ensuring that the safety in their workplace is up to date \nThe 2025 AILU AGM will follow this workshop\, from 13:30 – 14:30 (see here). \nProgramme\n10:00 – 10:30  Registration \n10:30 – 10:40 Welcome\nBethan Smith\, MTC \nSession 1\n \n10:40 – 11:00 Forthcoming Amendments and new laser safety standards\, evolutions of laser PPE and a request for laser user feedback\nNeal Croxford\, Dovecote Technologies \n11:00 – 11:20 Automating existing hand-held laser welding systems to enhance safety\nSinan Bilgin\, SS Laser Solutions \n11:20 – 11:50 Laser Fume & Filtration\nRichard Bloomfield\, Donaldson BOFA \n11:50 – 12:10 Training & PPE for Laser Safety\nPreetesh Mistry\, Pro-Lite Technology \n12:10 – 12:30 Discussion Session – Q&A – How to promote and deliver strong laser safety in 2025\nDave MacLellan\, AILU \n12:30 – 13:30  Lunch \n13:30 AILU AGM (optional) \n  \nVenue\nAME\nBeresford Avenue\nCoventry\nCV6 5LZ \nPlease follow this link for information on security and parking https://ailu.publishingbureau.dev/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Getting-to-AME.pdf \n  \nAILU EVENT T&Cs\nSee AILU Event Terms and Conditions here.\n____________________________________ \nBy registering for this meeting you agree that you are happy for AILU and Sponsors to contact you after the event
