The Gestlabs Education Centre offers leading experts in Italy to allow your company to operate safely with laser equipment, in compliance with current regulations.

Through a highly qualified team guided by the secretary (and former president) of the Laser Safety Committee (CT 76 – Laser Equipment) of the CEI – Italian Electrotechnical Committee, Gestlabs can support the client both with a risk-check consultation and in the education of personnel who work with laser equipment and machines.

The increasing spread of laser applications (mechanics, medical, telecommunications, etc.) makes it necessary to carefully evaluate the risk due to laser light, also because of the increasing powers of the different classes allowed by current regulations.
