Laser Safety Program at Los Alamos National Laboratory

摘要

The Laser Safety Program at the Los Alamos National Laboratory was formalized in April, 1991, with the publication of a document, 'Lasers,' modeled on the ANSIZ136.1 standard. A benchmark of the success of this program is that the Laboratory has experienced no disabling eye injuries because of laser operations since July, 1990, to be compared with a disabling laser eye injury that used to average one every eighteen months prior to the time the formal program was established. The Laboratory Laser Safety Program and program elements are presented and discussed.
