Although lasers are to be set up so that the beam is above the heads of workers, caution should be exercised to protect your sight when working ___ in an area where lasers are operating.

• A. On Lifts
• B. On Ladders
• C. Both A And B
• D. In The Same Area

Answer: (C)

Laser safety hinges on protecting your eyes whenever lasers are in use, not just when the beam is at a certain height. Even though the setup aims to keep the direct beam above workers, moving onto a lift or a ladder changes your position and line of sight. You may tilt, reach, or look upward to see targets or perform adjustments, and reflections off nearby surfaces can redirect the beam into your eyes. In these elevated scenarios, the risk of accidental exposure isn’t negligible, so eye protection is required when working on lifts or ladders in an area where lasers are operating.
