Need some help with first time information about building a laser

Hey all, new here, you guys may have seen me post a few nooby questions before. This is my first laser that i am going to attempt to put together, hoping I can get some help to do it properly. I recently bought a module from https://www.lasercomponents.com.au/i...er-module.html . Its a 50mW 532nm Green Laser Module. I was wondering a few things.
1. Where can i purchase safety glasses in australia that would protect me from 532nm wavelength, if that is the correct term. If i ship from overseas i either pay alot for shipping or get them from china and wait 40 days. So is there a store such as spec savers i can go into and buy them.
2. When i get the module, what do i do with it? I know its a really nooby question, but im a noob. From what the seller said, I just connect it to batteries, and there you go. Is that all that is needed? It also seemed quite cheap, compared to lasers online which are more expensive than that but are only 1mw.
3. Is there a way i can put in a button or switch or something to make it turn off and on.
P.S You guys are all the best:thanks:
4. I keep reading that 532nm releases IR. Why is this? And how do i stop it harming me, and if people are around me?
