The committee wishes, after finishing its work, to suggest the following safety precautions.
Safe distance to a CD-ROM drive with spin ratio 64x CLV should be no less than 5 metres (15 ft.).
All work with CD-ROM units should require safety goggles and protective clothing be worn.
CD-ROM drives of the 64x CLV class and higher, should be provided with shrapnel protection of no less than 3 mm aluminium or 1 mm steel.
To avoid operator inhalation of CD-ROM particles, CD-ROM drives should be provided with a dust suction fan with suitable filter, or have the fan duct connected directly to the outside air.
In addition to the laser light warning label, CD drives should be affixed with another label warning against the hazard of shrapnel, such as the one below:

Hmmm I don't think my keyboard can stretch 5m from my computer... Do they think about there saftey precautions? What kind of safety clothing are they thinking about if the drive would have to be fitted with a 1mm steel shrapnel guard?
