Abstract
Laser safety often receives less attention and fewer resources than other institutional safety and health program elements. This diminished support occurs despite the fact that laser-related occupational injuries and deaths greatly exceed those caused by biomedical research use of radioactive material. Therefore, a small emphasis on laser safety can potentially produce a much greater return on investment than more conventional health physics programs. Developing and implementing a formal comprehensive laser safety program enhances safe laser use and offers a great professional development opportunity in this important area of health physics expertise. This paper outlines such a university laser safety program.
