CLSOs’ & CMLSOs’ Best Practices Publications Reduced to Half Price - Order Today! Two vital tools that LIA offers Laser Safety Officers (LSOs) and Medical Laser Safety Officers (MLSOs) to train their staff have both been reduced to half price for a limited time! LIA’s CLSOs’ Best Practices in Laser Safety and CMLSOs’ Best Practices in Laser Safety offer all laser safety personnel the ability to train their staff and better facilitate the safe use of lasers in each environment.


CLSOs’ Best Practices in Laser Safety concentrates on how to address Class 3B and Class 4 laser hazards and their safe operation. The book is a compendium of procedures, policies and practical advice for laser safety professionals. This handbook covers areas of laser safety practices that are typically needed in the anticipation, recognition, evaluation and control of laser hazards as well as the rules and regulations that exist. In addition, there are laser-related accident case histories with training tools and “lesson learned” sources.


CMLSOs’ Best Practices in Medical Laser Safety compiles the latest knowledge for establishing a medical laser safety program, including laser safety regulations, how to control and evaluate such programs, and the duties of MLSOs. The book focuses on topics such as initial LSO duties and responsibilities, beam and non- beam hazards, and factors that determine laser tissue interaction, Contributors, BLS Certified MLSOs, also address the importance of safety audits once a laser safety program has been established. Packed with useful figures and tables, the book includes samples of a medical laser safety inspection checklist, a laser inventory sheet, a laser procedure record and laser safety audit forms.


Both books include a CD-ROM Initial Training and Refresher Training PowerPoint™ presentation for LSOs and MLSOs to use to train their facilities’ laser users.
