All operators of Lasers in NZ need to abide by the Health and Safety at Work (General Risk and Workplace Management) Regulations 2016 & Health and Safety at Work Act 2015.
Employers who have staff operating devices are considered by law to be PCBU (person in charge of business or undertaking) and must provide staff with appropriate PPE (personal protective equipment) by law.
