When working with a rotary laser level, what type of protection should be worn?

When working with a rotary laser level, it is essential to wear antilaser eye protection to safeguard your eyes from the potential hazard of laser exposure. Rotary laser levels emit laser beams that can be very intense and classified as Class 2 or higher, depending on the power output. Prolonged exposure to the laser beam or looking directly into the beam can lead to eye damage.

Antilaser eye protection is specifically designed to filter out the wavelengths emitted by the laser, reducing the risk of injury and ensuring that the equipment can be used safely. It's critical to use the appropriate protective eyewear that meets relevant safety standards and specifically provides protection against the type of laser being used.

Other types of protection, such as ear protection, face shields, or gloves, may be important for different tasks or tools on a job site, but they do not address the specific risks associated with laser equipment. This makes antilaser eye protection the most relevant and necessary safety gear when working with a rotary laser level.
