Upon review and approval by the LSO, the control measure requirements specified in this manual may be replaced by other controls that provide equivalent protection.

This change would require individuals to document and obtain approval for deviations from the ANSI standard. In addition, changes are proposed to the section on Engineering Controls as shown below. This Laser Safety Manual has been approved by the University Laser Safety Committee, 5/2019. The Laser Safety Officer (LSO) is authorized to monitor safety control measures for laser hazards and to take steps necessary to control and mitigate those hazards including restricting or terminating laser operations.Ĭonsult the current Laser Safety Officer at 650-723-3201 for specific information. The Laser Safety Officer, appointed by the Manager of Radiation Safety Programs in Environmental Health and Safety, is responsible for managing the laser safety program.

Our goal is to ensure a safe working environment consistent with our policy, which is guided by ANSI Z136.1, the American National Standard Institute on the Safe Use of Lasers. This manual provides the laser safety policies and procedures we have implemented to ensure a safe environment for all users, including students, visitors, and the public in research and teaching environments. Failure of any individual to comply with requirements can cause injury as well as jeopardize the research, the laboratory involved, and the institution. All individuals who currently or will work with lasers are responsible for knowing and adhering to applicable requirements as stated in this manual. It is a privilege to use lasers at Stanford University.
