Course Description:

This intermediate level training course provides an in-depth, analytical review of the Laser Safety Officer ( LSO ) duties and requirements of ANSI Z136.1, OSHA, FDA-CDRH and state laser standards.

The course begins with a review of basic laser operation with emphasis on those laser characteristics that are important in understanding the laser hazard evaluation for the LSO. After a review of the biological basis, the student will complete an in-depth computation workshop that covers MPE, AEL, NHZ and OD factors. An in-depth discussion of the controls of laser hazards is included.

Options for on-site training programs will be presented including video examples and interactive video/computer programming. Medical surveillance testing will be discussed including examples of various tests. The course concludes with a session on non-beam hazards associated with laser use (i.e. fumes, shock, plume, etc.) with emphasis on industrial hygiene based solutions.

Course Topics:

  • Review of laser parameters
  • LSO duties and responsibilities
  • Effects of laser beams on the eye and skin
  • MPE's with computational examples/Nominal Hazard Zones (NHZ)
  • Wavelength time corrections and AEL values
  • Details of laser hazard classes
  • Laser accident review and case studies
  • Training requirements for laser operators
