It is intended for staff and students using lasers for academic instruction in university, college, secondary, or primary educational facilities.

ANSI Z136.5 specifically provides laser safety guidance by evaluating and minimizing hazards associated with laser radiation in educational settings at all levels. It also discusses developing laser safety programs and student training. Various diagrams and examples of properly placed lasers and laser systems in relation to the audience are included. (soft bound, 56 pgs.)
