Course Overview
Lasers are used in a wide variety of industrial manufacturing operations. Laser processes such as laser cutting, drilling, and welding of metals and other materials present unique hazards to the eye and skin that must be controlled. This course will address these hazards in detail and present methods of how to minimize these hazards. In addition, OSHA and other federal regulations, and consensus standards will be presented that address the issue of laser safety from a regulatory perspective.
