At LIA, we believe in the importance of sharing new ideas about lasers. In fact, laser pioneers such as Dr. Arthur Schawlow and Dr. Theodore H. Maiman were among LIA’s original founders who set the stage for our enduring mission to promote laser applications and their safe use through education, training and symposia. LIA was formed in 1968 by people who represented the heart of the profession—a group of academic scientists, developers and engineers who were truly passionate about taking an emerging new laser technology and turning it into a viable industry.

Educating the World on Laser Applications and SafetyToday, this unwavering dedication continues to propel LIA as we meet the growing demand for continuing education and safety training. LIA trains more Laser Safety Officers than any other organization in the world. We are also proud to offer flexible and convenient learning options including online, classroom based or onsite training.

One of LIA’s signature events is the International Congress on Applications of Lasers & Electro-Optics (ICALEO®), which is viewed as the premier source of technical information in the field. As the market demand for laser applications continues to rise, LIA’s Lasers for Manufacturing Event (LME®) has become increasingly popular. Laser safety experts from all over the world meet at the International Laser Safety Conference (ILSC®) and significant impacts on the widespread industrial implementations of laser additive manufacturing continue to be shared at LIA’s Laser Additive Manufacturing (LAM®) Workshop.

It provides detailed safety information for systems where optical energy may be accessible and where source parameters are uncertain or not under the control of the user. Control measures commensurate with the specific hazard level (optical fiber links) and access level (free-space links) are provided. Most evaluations can be carried out analytically and a number of representative examples of hazard evaluation are provided in the Appendixes (soft bound, 127 pages).

The ANSI Z136.8 standard is one of the latest offerings in a range of vital resources for laser personnel. The Z136.8 standard arose from the increasing reliance on lasers in labs and other research-designated areas. It was developed to distinguish it from the parent ANSI Z136.1 Safe Use of Lasers document by including two additional hazard analysis areas - beam path and beam interaction and summarizing proper procedure in unrestricted, restricted, controlled, exclusion and inaccessible locations. In addition, the Z136.8 allows the use of alignment eyewear, non-certified lasers, export controls, warning signs, including sample audit forms for labs and program reviews and deletion of some CDRH-based control measures.

This standard includes policies and procedures to ensure laser safety in any area where research, development or testing is performed, including universities, product development labs, private and government research labs (e.g., National Laboratories) and product testing settings (soft bound, 127 pages).

The parent document and cornerstone of the Z136 series of laser safety standards, the ANSI Z136.1 provides guidance for the safe use of lasers and laser systems by defining control measures for each of the four laser classes.

As a result of advances in laser devices and applications, it is recommended that this standard be obtained by all laser end

users and is a must for users of Class 3B and Class 4 lasers. The ANSI Z136.1 standard is the foundation of laser safety programs for industrial, military, medical and educational applications nationwide, providing a comprehensive and thorough set of guidelines for implementing a safe laser program in these environments.

The standard covers laser safety program provisions including the duties and responsibilities of the LSO, nonbeam hazards, administrative/engineering control measures, definitions, optical density, nominal hazard zone (NHZ), MPEs, accessible emission limit (AEL), bioeffects, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and example calculations (soft bound, 276 pages).

The ANSI Z136.3 is recognized as the definitive document on laser safety in all health care environments. It provides guidance for the safe use of lasers for diagnostic, cosmetic, preventative and therapeutic applications in any location where bodily structure or

function is altered or symptoms are relieved. Lasers used in these applications are incorporated into an apparatus referred to as a health care laser system (HCLS), which includes a delivery system, a power supply, mechanical housing and associated liquids and gases as required for operation of the laser.

This standard is intended for use by all personnel associated with the installation, operation, calibration and maintenance and service of the HCLS, making this document a must for all hospitals, medical centers, spas, veterinary offices and clinics utilizing lasers!

The rapid change in the pattern of use of health care laser systems has made it essential to have a current document to guide us in the approach to the safe use of these systems. The ANSI Z136.3 represents many necessary compromises to make it fit the needs of this diverse population of users of these medical laser systems (soft bound, 117 pages).

LIA’S LASER SAFETY TRAINING COURSES

Medical Laser Safety Awareness TrainingWith the therapeutic use of lasers on a rapid rise, the Laser Institute of America is unveiling another of its highly popular and convenient online safety courses exclusively for training medical personnel.

LIA’s Medical Laser Safety Awareness course is a two-hour learning experience that offers the ultimate in flexibility for the busy professional. Health care personnel who use or encounter lasers will get a complete overview of the safe use of these devices, especially in the operating room and ambulatory surgical centers.

With LIA’s easy-to-use interface, MLSOs also can train their employees without having to send them away to a specialized course or bring in an expensive expert. Users simply register and pay online at www.lia.org, then proceed through the course slides at their own pace.

This course is based on the recently updated Z136.3 Safe Use of Lasers in Health Care standard and guides medical personnel in how to assess and control beam and non-beam hazards during patient care with lasers. Hazards range anywhere from a laser igniting a drape or an endotracheal tube to sparking an airway passage fire. Knowing how to identify and prevent such hazards is vital, for example, to a nurse in charge of one or more operating rooms where lasers will be active.

Not only is the course affordable — $70 per person — users can listen and take notes at work, home or anywhere they have computer access. Follow the audio program in sequence, skip ahead to a particular chapter, review previous chapters — students decide how they wish to complete the course. Meanwhile, the course administrator controls all the records of those taking the course and receives certificates upon completion. Newly appointed MLSOs can even take the course first, then sign up other employees to train them with LIA materials instead of creating an entire course from scratch.

LIA, the recognized leader in laser safety education and resources since 1968, will be launching the new course this Spring. Visit our website for updates and to register at www.lia.org/education or call 1.800.34.LASER.

Laser U – The Global Laser Education Portal!Practical Online Training for All Laser Users
