Important Notes: These videos are intended as a guide to laser safety and ESD awareness and must be viewed in their entirety. These videos are not a substitute for company-specific laser safety and ESD training. The laser safety exam and laser safety waiver shown in the laser safety video are for certification for the courses given by the Coherent Laser Training Program only. The laser safety video is based on ANSI Z136.1 for Safe Use of Lasers, and there may be additional or alternate training requirements for the user depending on the user's experience, the potential laser hazards, and the prevailing regulatory requirements at the user's location. |
Governing Laser Safety Standards
Laser owners have the fundamental responsibility to provide for the safe use of lasers within their facility and to implement safety programs to adequately control the hazards associated with laser use. In the United States, the accepted governing standard is ANSI Z136.1, The Safe Use of Lasers. Outside of the United States, international standards such as IEC 60825-14, Safety of Laser Products, prevail. We recommend for laser owners to follow the governing standard in their country to assure regulatory compliance and to provide the necessary safety programs to protect their employees and property.
