Lasers are known to cause fire. If you leave your laser unattended, anyone else SHOULD halt or cancel it immediately, no questions asked, no excuses. DO not pass go, do not collect $200, go to laser jail.
Lasers are more liable to cause fire if the material is too thick, has air pockets in it (like multi-layer cardboard)
Lasers can cause toxic fumes if they are used with unsafe materials. There's a page of safe and unsafe materials linked from each laser's wiki page, and that is covered in authorizations.
There is one halon fire extinguisher in the CNC room that is first choice for putting out fires associated with the laser cutters.
As long as the lids are closed, you do not need to wear additional protective eye wear to operate the lasers.
Don't mess with the safety interlocks that detect if the lid is closed.
Do not ever laser humans or animals.
