Time is Running Out to Register for Our April LSO Courses
Registration will soon be closing for our next LSO laser safety training courses which will be held via teleconferencing from April 22 - 25, 2025.
The Laser Safety Officer course is an intermediate course that provides an in-depth, analytical review of the Laser Safety Officer ( LSO ) duties and requirements of ANSI Z136.1, OSHA, FDA-CDRH and state laser standards.
About This Course:
The course begins with a review of basic laser operation with emphasis on those laser characteristics that are important in understanding the laser hazard evaluation for the LSO. After a review of the biological basis, the student will complete an in-depth computation workshop that covers MPE, AEL, NHZ and OD factors. An in-depth discussion of the controls of laser hazards is included.
Options for on-site training programs will be presented including video examples and interactive video/computer programming. Medical surveillance testing will be discussed including examples of various tests. The course concludes with a session on non-beam hazards associated with laser use (i.e. fumes, shock, plume, etc.) with emphasis on industrial hygiene based solutions.
Also Available:
For those who are new to lasers or wish to take a refresher, our Principles of Lasers course is available the day before the LSO course, on April 21, 2025. This one-day introductory course is designed for those responsible for operating and maintaining laser systems, providing a solid introduction to lasers. It also provides a knowledge base for those who plan to continue their professional development and will be attending the Laser Safety Officer (LSO) course.
All Courses Offered:
Students will receive:
- Course Notebook
- Z136.1-2022 ANSI Standard "For the Safe Use of Lasers"
- RLI User's Guide for Laser Safety
- LAZAN™ Quick Calc Hazard Analysis Software (via download)
For students registering on or before April 11, 2025, RLI will ship the above training materials free of charge so they will be available at the start of the course. Students registering after April 11, 2025 may incur additional shipping charges.

 RLI Testing Services
RLI provides laser safety testing and classification of laser, LED, UV and IR products and components to global laser/LED safety regulations.
Laser measurements are based on any of the following applicable standards:
- Z136.1-2022 ANSI Standard "For Safe Use of Lasers"
- FDA/CDRH Laser Product Performance Standard (21 CFR)
- IEC 60825 series of standards
RLI will perform the necessary testing and radiation measurements required to determine classification and prepare the required CDRH and/or IEC 60825 reports. IEC 60825 reports can be used to support the “CE Mark” for the European marketplace.
Appropriate laser output measurements will be performed under normal operation and single component fault conditions for the purpose of radiation and product classification.
Measurement Capabilities
- Power / Pulse Energy
- Wavelength
- Pulse Duration and Response Rate
- Angular Subtense
- Laser Beam Profiles
- Near Field or Far Field Beam Divergence
- Diameter of Focused Beams
- Diameter of Gaussian Beams (1/e and 1/e²)
- Source size and location
- Various shapes: Elliptical, Rectangular and others
