Yes unless you laser a piece of metal with a 45 degree chamfered edge I doubt you could get enough reflected power to burn your skin although I am not sure the eye is any more sensitive to far IR than you skin is. It won’t penetrate and burn the sensitive retina. It is just that a burn on the surface of your eye is a big problem but the same on your hand is just a minor pain.

Imagine lasering some non-pg plywood that has a fragment of metal embedded. Very rare but could happen.

the whole point of eye protection is that catastrophic damage can happen before you react. that simply isn’t going to happen on your arm; the worst that might happen (and i wager it’s extraordinarily improbable) is going to be less damaging than the least cooking burn.
