ALL THUNDER LASER MACHINES ARE CE Certified CLASS 2 AND COMPLETELY SAFE TO OPERATE AS LONG AS ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED AND ALL SAFETY SYSTEMS ARE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER.
And we have a Nova 35 with additional safety systems that is CE certified as a Class1 device.
Ultimately, you will need to create your own specific compliance structure and documentation following these standards (and possibly others):
https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1926/1926.54
- OSHA Technical Manual Laser Hazards: SECTION III: CHAPTER 6
- American National Standard For Safe Use Of Lasers: ANSI Z136.1-2014

Below are some links to example documents and information from other institutions and organizations. Much of it looks like boilerplate so templating your documentation but these examples are the property of their respective organizations so be careful not to carbon copy your materials from these examples.
