High-powered laser systems introduce specialised risks that require dedicated safety structures, qualified oversight, proper documentation, and controlled operation.
LSASA provides a framework to support safe, responsible, and compliant laser operation across the South African events industry.
LSASA is currently engaging with venues, laser operators, and safety professionals to align on minimum safety requirements for laser systems, including:
-
Laser-specific safety documentation
-
Qualified and accountable laser safety oversight
-
Emergency stop and key-controlled activation systems
-
Proper zoning and beam control
-
Prevention of audience exposure
-
Alignment with applicable regulatory requirements

Direct interaction between laser beams and audience areas is considered high-risk and is not supported under LSASA safety alignment guidelines.
