Course Overview
This course is designed for engineers, scientists, and safety professionals who are assigned Laser Safety Officer (LSO) duties and responsibilities. Individuals working in research and development centers, universities, or manufacturing environments that desire an in-depth, expert knowledge of laser safety issues and calculations will benefit greatly from this course. The class will be visiting the FDA - Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) laboratory. While visiting the CDRH, the class will participate in a laser measurement demonstration session. Shortly after, the class will perform a laser safety audit of a few specific designated laboratories.
In the hands-on session you will measure:
This course is worth 4.01 ABIH CM Points by the American Board of Industrial Hygiene, 32 CECs by the American Academy of Health Physics and 3.0 BLS CM Points by the Board of Laser Safety.
