Course Description:

For those new to laser technology or for those who want to expand their knowledge as they take on responsibility for laser safety:

This one-day introductory course is designed for those responsible for operating and maintaining laser systems, providing a solid introduction to lasers. It also provides a knowledge base for those who plan to continue their professional development and will be attending the Laser Safety Officer (LSO) course. In addition, the course benefits those who have management responsibility for lasers and/or laser safety.

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.

Students attending this course will receive:

  • Course Notebook
  • RLI User's Guide to Laser Safety
  • Lazan™ Quick Calc


As with all RLI courses, this course has been carefully crafted to include the most important concepts in theory and practices to optimize the learning experience for all attendees. Our courses are widely recognized for providing the most practical and useful information.
