The report accounts for threshold data for permissible irradiation at pulse-repetition green NdYAG radiation. On the basis of threshold data (the code of statutes of the National Swedish Board of Occupational Safety and Health, AFS 1981:9), the flight data (altitude, speed) are discussed which are permissible for the irradiation at sea surface from the point of view of laser safety. Further; a review is done of the practical safety aspects of laser bathymetry from helicopter or aircraft. Especially emphasized is the necessity that the laser operator has full observational control over the part of the sea surface that can be hit by radiation of higher irradiance than the threshold value for permissible irradiation. Moreover, the risks at flights over islands and shores are touched upon, as well as the risks for animal life.
