BLS Update 11th DOE LSO Workshop The 11th Department of Energy Laser Safety Officer Workshop will


be held Sept. 27-29 at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The DOE LSO Workshop is the premier meeting venue to gain practical laser safety knowledge, discuss ideas with colleagues and gain maintenance points for BLS CLSO/CMLSO, CHP, CIH and CSP certifications.


A preliminary agenda is now available from the workshop website. Highlights include talks from Dr. Chris Stoughton of the Fermilab Holometer and Dr. Brian Nord of the Fermilab Center for Particle Astrophysics, a special optics tutorial, vendor exhibition and tours of various Fermilab facilities.


In addition to the workshop, ancillary meetings of ASC Z136 subcommittees TSC-1, TSC-4, SSC-8, and SSC-9, as well as a University AMLSO and the DOE EFCOG LSSG meetings will be held. Preceding the workshop on Monday, Sept. 26, the BLS is offering a CLSO exam.

ILSC 2017


It’s not too soon to start planning for the 2017 International Laser Safety Conference. ILSC®


2017 will be held Mar. 20-23, 2017


in Atlanta, GA. Of special interest to our CLSOs and CMLSOs, the Practical Applications Seminars (PAS) complement the more complex Laser Safety Scientific Sessions (LSSS) by exploring the everyday scenarios that the LSO and MLSO may encounter. Leading the Medical PAS is the team of Kay Ball, Vangie Dennis, Patti Owens and Leslie Pollard, while the Technical PAS will be co-chaired by Eddie Ciprazo and Jamie King.


Attendance at ILSC will earn BLS certification maintenance (CM) points at the rate of 1 point per day. Present a paper and earn additional CM points! The abstract submission deadline is Oct. 6, 2016. For CM point specifics, please see “Maintenance” on the BLS website, www.lasersafety.org.
