Course Overview - Implement a Successful Laser Safety Program

The LIA Laser Safety Officer course is packed with useful information that you can take back to your organization and apply immediately. With a focus on safety program development and administration, it covers lasers and optics, bioeffects, beam and non-beam hazards, control measures and training requirements.

Through a non-mathematical approach, the course is designed to teach the administrative duties of the Laser Safety Officer as described in the ANSI Z136.1 Safe Use of Lasers standard. In addition, the course meets all LSO training requirements outlined by ANSI, OSHA and ACGIH. You will earn 3.01 ABIH CM Points, 16 CECs by AAHP and 3.0 BLS CM Points by the Board of Laser Safety.

You will learn laser safety practices that can be applied immediately at your facility:

• Get the latest information from the experts at the Accredited Standards Committee Z136 Safe Use of Lasers. They will provide up-to-date information on Federal, State and International laser safety regulations.
• Learn the fundamentals and terminology necessary for a complete understanding of current laser safety information.
• Get a complete overview of exposure limits, hazard zones and optical density.
• Examine effects of lasers on the eye and skin.
• Review the history of laser accidents.
• Study non-beam issues such as laser-generated airborne contaminants and electrical hazards.
• Review Laser Control Measures and Personal Protective Equipment such as laser eyewear. This includes controls recommended by ANSI Z136 industry safety standards, and reviews compliance requirements mandated by OSHA.
• Take away strategies in laser safety program administration including training requirements for laser personnel, medical surveillance and Laser Safety Officer duties and responsibilities.

Course Overview - Advance your laser safety knowledge

The LIA Laser Safety Officer with Hazard Analysis course is an essential part of the LSO's training agenda. This program focuses on lasers and optics, applications, bioeffects, beam and non-beam hazards, control measures, and laser safety program development and administration. The main difference is the LSO with Hazard Analysis course covers bioeffects and non-beam hazards in more detail. PLUS, you will also learn hazard analysis calculations such as maximum permissible exposure (MPE), optical density (OD) and nominal hazard zone (NHZ).

In addition, the course meets all LSO training requirements outlined by ANSI, OSHA and ACGIH. You will earn 6.01 ABIH CM Points, 32 CECs by AAHP and 4.5 BLS CM Points by the Board of Laser Safety.

Here's what you'll learn:

• Get the latest information from the experts at the Accredited Standards Committee Z136 Safe Use of Lasers. They will provide up-to-date information on Federal, State and International laser safety regulations.
• Learn the fundamentals and terminology necessary for a complete understanding of current laser safety information.
• Conduct laser hazard analysis and calculations (MPEs, NHZs, ODs, etc.)
• Examine effects of lasers on the eye and skin.
• Review the history of laser accidents.
• Study non-beam issues such as laser-generated airborne contaminants and electrical hazards.
• Review Laser Control Measures and Personal Protective Equipment such as laser eyewear. This includes controls recommended by ANSI Z136 industry safety standards, and reviews compliance requirements mandated by OSHA.
