Abstract:
Laser safety is not always given the attention it might warrant. When one evaluates the level of laser safety required, using a laser pointer is substantially different than aligning a Class 4 laser. This presentation will emphasize basic laser safety when using Class 3B or Class 4 lasers in a university setting but could easily be applied to any similar facility or classroom environment. Laser safety information presented and practices described will be in accordance with the American National Standard for Safe Use of Lasers (ANSI Z136.1 - 2007) and CLSOs' Best Practices in Laser Safety (Laser Institute of America - 2008).
