Laser Safety
The Laser Safety Program provides staff, researchers and students with a safe laser use environment. All Class 3b and 4 lasers must be registered with the Radiation Safety Officer. EHS administers this program for the Radiation Safety Committee. This program ensures compliance with the American National Standards Institute, Z136.1 Standard.
Prior to using Class 3b or 4 Lasers, Principal Investigators shall:
- Notify the Radiation Safety Officer prior to moving the laser onsite.
- Complete the Application of Use form (LA1)
and Laser Registry form (LR1) and forward/fax to the Laser Safety Officer. The Radiation Safety Committee will
review both forms and notify the Principal Investigator in writing that use of the
laser(s) is approved.
- Complete the Laser Training form (LT1) and forward/fax to the Laser Safety Officer.
If you have a question or require support, contact Samantha Lindsey, Radiation Safety Officer, at slind8@lsuhsc.edu or (504) 568-4952.
