In its tenth edition, this publication corresponds with the latest revision of Z136.1. The LIA Laser Safety Guide is a handbook for all laser personnel. It outlines potential hazards for all types of lasers and provides easy to understand guidelines for controlling laser hazards. The guide is easy to read and provides the reader with the essentials needed for a general comprehension of laser safety concepts. Designed to introduce employees and customers to lasers and laser safety, it details each laser classification and the corresponding control measures used to protect laser users. (10th Edition, 52 pgs.)

This guide was written to provide an overview of the non-beam
hazards associated with lasers and increase the awareness of those hazards among laser users. In addition, applicable control measures are discussed, which will assist those charged with minimizing exposure to the hazards including the LSO. Topics include:
• LGAC's
• Compressed Gases
• Dyes & Solvents
• Infectious Materials
• Electrical and Fire Hazards
• Explosions

Designing a laser safety program can’t be based on intuition. You
need facts. You need the rules. You need the revised Z136.3 for Safe Use of Lasers in Health Care Facilities laser safety standard. The revised Z136.3 is recognized as the definitive document on laser safety in all healthcare environments. The Z136.3 is a must for hospitals, medical centers, and clinics using medical laser systems.

The standard applies the requirements of the ANSI Z136.1 for Safe Use of Lasers to the unique environments associated with educational institutions. Such settings include teaching laboratories, classrooms, lecture halls, science fairs, and science museums, which have incorporated lasers into their educational process. It is intended for staff and students using lasers for academic instruction in university, college, secondary, or primary educational facilities. ANSI Z136.5 specifically provides laser safety guidance by evaluating and minimizing hazards associated with laser radiation in educational settings at all levels. It also discusses developing laser safety programs and student training. Various diagrams and examples of properly placed lasers and laser systems in relation to the audience are included. (softbound, 56pgs.) Intended to be used in conjunction with the ANSI Z136.1.

This standard provides guidance for the safe use of lasers in
an outdoor environment. It covers product performance of lasers used outdoors including those that have been granted a variance or exemption from the provisions of the Federal product performance standard (21 CFR 1040). Products and applications covered:
• Laser Light Shows
• Military Lasers
• Lasers used for outdoor scientific research
• Wireless optical communications systems deployed outdoors
The standard also covers possible indirect hazards such as visual interference at night to pilots during take-off and landing Intended to be used in conjunction with the ANSI Z136.1.

This unique program incorporates graphics that let the viewer interact with the laser beam and the human eye and skin. A protective eyewear option helps the user determine the correct optical density for eye protection. The Laser Hazard Evaluator Software is based on the ANSI Z136.1 (2000) Safe Use of Lasers and includes the standard in the package. When someone else's safety is depending on your calculations, you better have a reliable way to double check your work. That's why the Laser Institute of America developed an intuitive software program called the Laser Hazard Evaluator. It does more than just solve an equation or two - it shows potential injury sites on the eye and skin if the MPE is exceeded. And if you're the LSO who has to recommend a safety policy, the Laser Hazard Evaluator is a great way to be sure you make the right call. Now it's as easy as pointing and clicking.
Performs repeated calculations of:
• Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance
• Beam Irradiance Laser Classification
• Necessary Optical Density
• Maximum Permissible Exposure
• Runs on Windows 3.1, 95, 98, NT, 2000, and XP platforms
• 3.5 diskette format
• 1 MB free disk space required
The Laser Hazard Evaluator Software is a Nonrefundable
