Laser safety literature revised

The Laser Institute of America has updated its “Laser Safety Guide” for the first time since 2007.

The literature has been revised to comply with the new terminology and guidelines of the 2014 edition of the ANSI Z136.1 Safe Use of Lasers standard. It can be used in conjunction with or as a supplement to any of the ANSI Z136 standards.

Available for a fee, the guide presents practical information for anyone who uses lasers in the workplace. Geared toward beginners in laser safety, it also is appropriate for seasoned experts. The guide progresses through fundamental concepts of laser safety and offers examples to provide an understanding of the application of the standard.
