1. 532nm
2. Coatings with high reflectivity in only a narrow spectral range have a significant angular dependence, i.e. they only work for specific angles. Therefore laser goggles tend to be rather broad range, which means (in the visible) they are tinted (reddish, for example). I think this is going to be unacceptable in a work environment which amongst other things relies on color cues.
