servicing a Class 4 laser system.
•
The LSO will ensure that no juveniles operate the laser.
•
The LSO will regularly audit all safety measures including: regular retraining of authorized
personnel, serialization and regular inspection and replacement of all special eyewear and clothing,
and monitoring of all safety measures surrounding the controlled area in which a
Class 4 laser system is operated. The LSO may be required to maintain records as necessary
to prove compliance.
•
The LSO will be responsible for regular medical surveillance of all authorized personnel
operating a Class 4 laser system. For example, this may include but is not limited to, mandatory
annual eye exams.
•
Class 4 lasers systems must not be used at trade shows or exhibitions.
The above list is not to be considered all-inclusive. Other mandatory safety measures may be applicable
and will vary from state-to-state and country-to-country. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
OWNER OF A CLASS 4 LASER SYSTEM TO IDENTIFY AND COMPLY WITH ALL PERTINENT
REGULATIONS.
In some states, for example, anyone wishing to operate a Class 4 laser system must register with the state
radiation regulatory agency, pay annual fees, and submit to annual inspections. There may be penalties
involved for non-compliance. The United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
has also adopted rules for safe use of lasers in the workplace. The LSO must comply with all rules and
regulations set by law.
To reiterate, the safety measures relating to operation of a Class 4 laser system are mandatory under
Federal and State law in the United States as well as in most foreign countries. If an owner is unable or
unwilling to comply with all safety measures required for safe operation of a Class 4 laser system, the
optional Class 4 Pass-Through module must not be used.
Laser System Safety Labels
CDRH and CE regulations require that all laser manufacturers affix warning labels in specific
locations throughout the equipment. Do not remove these labels for any reason. If the label(s)
become damaged or have been removed for any reason, do not operate the laser system and
