00:00 In the world of manufacturing, employers and manufacturers must follow countless domestic
00:06 and international regulations designed to keep workers safe. These are especially important
00:10 in industries where professionals work in dangerous environments with hazardous materials.
00:15 Two regulatory agencies ensure business owners work to keep their employees and the environment
00:19 safe. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, which ensures safe and healthy conditions
00:24 for workers, and the Environmental Protection Agency, or the EPA, whose mission is protecting
00:29 human health and the environment. Both of these entities have regulations specifically
00:33 dealing with laser systems used for manufacturing. OSHA Laser Safety Standard 29 CFR 1910 outlines
00:40 requirements for employers to protect workers from the hazards of laser radiation. Compliance
00:44 involves using proper protective equipment, limiting exposure, and ensuring appropriate
00:49 training and warning systems are in place. While laser systems may not directly fall
00:53 under EPA regulations, their byproducts such as emissions and waste disposal are regulated
00:57 by the EPA. This includes ensuring proper disposal of chemicals and materials used in
01:02 laser processes and properly managing any emissions released into the air. These factors
01:07 led Laser Photonics Corporation, a leading global industrial pioneer of laser systems,
01:12 to develop its line of cutting-edge laser cleaning products. With its OSHA and EPA-approved
01:16 Cleantech systems, the company provides industry professionals with a laser blasting solution
01:21 for corrosion control, coating removal, pre-weld preparation, post-weld treatment, laser cleaning,
01:26 surface conditioning, and more. Cleantech laser cleaning systems focus a high-powered
01:30 laser onto targeted areas, removing contaminants such as rust, corrosion, residue, and paint
01:35 from a wide range of materials without causing any harm to the underlying surface. The global
01:40 blasting market is projected to grow to $12 billion by 2025. As technology is continued
01:45 to advance, laser systems have become increasingly essential in manufacturing, driving innovation,
01:50 and pushing the boundaries of what's possible while enhancing workplace safety. Laser Photonics
01:55 continues to reinforce its position as an industry leader with a focus on providing
01:59 reliable and safe solutions and world-class laser machinery to its global customer base.
