Laser Welding Training
The first level of training is the Laser Awareness Training course, designed for individuals who are new to laser safety or need a refresher on the basics. This one-day workshop provides an accessible introduction to laser technology, including the risks associated with laser use, safety measures, and legal requirements. The course covers essential topics such as laser types, beam characteristics, primary and secondary hazards, and the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE). By completing this training, attendees will have a solid understanding of laser safety principles, allowing them to safely work with or around lasers in various settings, including industrial environments, hospitals, universities, and research institutions.
Laser Safety Officer Training (Level 2)
Once you have completed the Laser Awareness Training, you can advance to the second level: Laser Safety Officer (LSO) Training. This course is designed for those who will be responsible for overseeing laser safety within their organizations. Laser Safety Officers are crucial in ensuring compliance with safety regulations, implementing protective measures, and training other personnel on laser safety protocols. The LSO training covers in-depth topics such as laser hazard assessment, safety audits, accident prevention, legal responsibilities, and the development of safety protocols. Upon completion, participants will be fully equipped to take on the role of Laser Safety Officer, playing a key part in maintaining a safe working environment in laser-using industries.
