RLI Sponsors ILSC®
RLI has joined Honeywell as Platinum Sponsors of the International Laser Safety Conference (ILSC®), held this year from March 18-21, 2013, in Orlando, Florida.
ILSC® is a comprehensive four-day conference covering all aspects of laser safety practice and hazard control. The Practical Applications Seminars (PAS) complement the Scientific Sessions by exploring everyday scenarios that the LSO and MLSO may encounter. Professionals in all fields and applications will find ILSC a tremendous source for information and networking opportunities.
RLI president Bill Ertle will be presenting two Practical Application Seminars,
"What Laser Regulations Apply to Me?", and "ANSI Z136.1-CDV, Status on Updates for Next Revision with Focus on Control Measures and Training" at the conference.
Look for us at our booth during the evening reception on March 19, 2013.

L-250 Principles of Lasers & Laser Safety Officer Course |
5 Days |
|
|
This five-day course is designed for those persons designated as the Laser Safety Officer (LSO) for their facility who also need a solid introduction to lasers. The first day of the course provides a general overview of types of lasers and how laser light differs from that produced by the sun and other "ordinary" light sources. The participant also learns about laser operation, terminology and beam properties. Common types of lasers including specific gas, solid-state, and diode lasers are discussed and an overview of laser optics and beam delivery systems is included. The discussion of basic laser operation emphasizes those laser characteristics that are important for the LSO to understand in order to perform the laser hazard evaluation. The next four days of the course consist of an in-depth, analytical presentation of the LSO’s duties and requirements according to ANSI Z136.1, OSHA, FDA-CDRH and state laser standards. After a review of the biological basis, the student will complete an in-depth computational workshop that covers MPEs, AELs, NHZs and ODs. An in-depth discussion of the control of laser hazards is provided.
