What you are going to learn

This online training course covers basic concepts, an explanation of the different types of lasers and their hazards, links to industry safety standards, and hazard control measures to follow when duties require you to operate a laser or to be present when a laser is in use in your workplace. It also presents case studies to emphasize the need for laser safety training in the workplace.

Lasers are a common tool used across many industries. They can be a precise and efficient way to perform a variety of tasks, but they can also be dangerous when used improperly. That is why so many industries require laser safety training.

Who This Course is For

Case Study: While manipulating the 800-nm beam from a Titanium sapphire laser with a mirror in October 2001, an Argonne scientist, with over 15 years of laser experience, suffered a serious eye injury when the beam hit his unprotected eye. His vision went from 20-50 before the accident to near-blindness after, and even years later he cannot read large print.

Key Takeaways: Co-workers should challenge those who do not use LPE (laser protective eyewear), evaluating for possible hazards as second nature, not as an afterthought. LSOs (Laser Safety Officers) should reinforce the consequences of an incident to the user and entire group so users understand the impact they may impose on others as the result of a violation of laser safety protocols.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires workers who operate lasers to obtain a laser safety certification under OSHA 29 CFR 1910 and 1926. Also, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) requires training under Z136.1. This laser safety online course meets these broad requirements.

Exam

It will take a MINIMUM of 2 hours to complete this online course. The student may log on and off as needed. A bookmark will be set so when they log back in they will return to where they left off.

We have no restrictions on how long a person takes to complete a course.

OSHA requires workers to undergo laser certification safety training whenever an employer has reason to believe that trained employees no longer have the necessary skills or understanding required. For instance, changes to the workplace, equipment, or personal protective equipment (PPE) may render previous training obsolete. Anytime such changes occur-or employees fail to demonstrate proficiency in wearing proper PPE-organizations should provide recurrent laser safety training. This online certification meets that need.

Each student will receive 0.2 CEUs (or 2 CMEs) from Compliance Training Online® for completing this course.
