I have a laser cleaning system. Wavelength is 1064nm. Is there much chance of the light coming around the edges.

Yes, you need to protect against both diffused and reflective viewing from light coming from the laser. It may not be as strong as direct viewing but still is dangerous. Please feel free to call us if you'd like to discuss in further detail. I've also included our article on direct vs diffused viewing - https://lasersafetyindustries.com/blo...
