LIA, OSHA to Offer Laser Safety Training
The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Laser Institute of America (LIA) have renewed their partnership to help protect workers from exposure to laser hazards.
Under a five-year agreement, the organizations will provide annual training on best practices for laser safety, develop a training program based on the seminar and distribute laser-safety guidance products.
The organizations earlier developed a guidance document outlining 10 steps necessary to begin a laser safety program in the health industry, conducted 18 laser safety seminars that trained more than 500 workers.
LIA is a professional society for laser applications and safety serving the industrial, educational, medical, research and government communities.
