The standard reference for laser safety is the American Standard for the Safe Use of Lasers,
Z136.12000, developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). This reference is
the basis for many of the federal regulations for laser and laser system manufacturers, and for the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) laser safety guidelines. It contains detailed
information concerning proper installation and use of laser systems. While the ANSI standard itself
does not have the force of law, its recommendations, including warning signage, training, and the
designation of a laser safety officer, may be compulsory under local workplace regulations when
operating laser systems above Class I. It is the operator’s responsibility to ensure that the installation
and operation of the Full Spectrum Laser Hobby Laser System is performed in accordance with all
applicable laws. Copies of ANSI Standard Z136.12000 are available from: LASER INSTITUTE OF
AMERICA 12424 RESEARCH PARKWAY, SUITE 125 ORLANDO, FL 32826 (407) 3801553.
