The Evaluator - Desktop

Similar to the web-based version, the Desktop Evaluator performs a number of repeated calculations based on the ANSI Z136.1-2014 American National Standard for Safe Use of Lasers, including: maximum permissible exposure (MPE), optical density (OD), nominal ocular hazard distance (NOHD), nominal hazard zone (NHZ) and laser hazard classification.

Class 3B Warning Sign

This 10x14 plastic sign is used for all entryways into a class 3B laser controlled area operating laser systems that exceed the applicable Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limit for irradiance.  These signs meet the ANSI Z136.1 for Safe Use of Lasers requirements for signage.

Class 4 Danger Sign

This 10x14 plastic sign is used for all entryways into a class 4 laser controlled area operating high output power laser systems (such as multi-kilowatt lasers) or open beam pulsed energy laser systems.  This sign meets the ANSI Z136.1 for Safe Use of Lasers requirements for signage.

Class 4 Warning Sign

This 10x14 plastic sign is used for all entryways into a class 4 laser controlled area operating laser systems that exceed the applicable Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limit for irradiance.  These signs meet the ANSI Z136.1 for Safe Use of Lasers requirements for signage.

CLSOs' Best Practices in Laser Safety

The book is a compendium of procedures, policies and practical advice to be used by laser safety professionals. An international team of twenty laser safety experts and Certified Laser Safety Officers from the industrial, medical, and academia fields volunteered their time and effort to create this benchmark reference handbook.

CMLSOs' Best Practices in Medical Laser Safety

Medical personnel in charge of the safe use of lasers for therapeutic procedures have a valuable new tool to help prevent harm to patients and health-care professionals.  The Laser Institute of America has assembled the expert knowledge of leading certified medical laser safety officers in a new book, CMLSOs' Best Practices in Medical Laser Safety. The book compiles the latest knowledge about establishing a medical laser safety program, including laser safety regulations, how to control and evaluate such programs, and the duties of LSOs.

Laser Safety Guide

As a result of advances in laser devices and applications, this twelfth edition of The Laser Safety Guide has been completely updated to incorporate the major changes from the revised ANSI Z136.1 Safe Use of Lasers standard. The Laser Safety Guide is a tool for all laser personnel. It outlines potential hazards for all types of lasers and provides easy to understand guidelines for controlling laser hazards. The guide is easy to read and provides the reader with the essentials needed for a general comprehension of laser safety concepts. Designed to introduce employees and customers to lasers and laser safety, it details each laser classification and the corresponding control measures used to protect laser users. (Soft, 12th Edition, 50 pgs.)

Mastering Light - Site License Version

Written and produced by LIA, the 2016 version of the Mastering Light: An Introduction to Laser Safety & Hazards video fulfills both the ANSI Z136.1 Safe Use of Lasers and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) laser safety requirements for employees who routinely work with or who potentially could be exposed to Class 3B or Class 4 laser radiation. With new footage and updated information, Mastering Light: An Introduction to Laser Safety & Hazards provides trainees and current employees with the knowledge needed to enter the world of laser safety.
