The Board of Laser Safety® (BLS) was incorporated in September 2002 as a nonprofit organization affiliated with the Laser Institute of America (LIA), a California nonprofit corporation.

As the use of lasers grows both in popularity and applications, there will be a growing demand for trained laser safety professionals. The mission of the Board of Laser Safety is to provide a means for improvement in the practice of laser safety by providing opportunities for the education, assessment and recognition of laser safety professionals. BLS certification will enhance the credibility of a designated Laser Safety Officer, and demonstrate that individuals serving in the field of laser safety have agreed to adhere to high standards of safety and professional practice.

The BLS offers two types of certification. The first type is called Certified Laser Safety Officer (CLSO) and is intended for professionals who are working with lasers in a scientific, manufacturing or industrial environment. Our second type is called Certified Medical Laser Safety Officer (CMLSO) and is intended for professionals who are working with lasers in any medical environment. Detailed information about each of these programs can be found on our website.

There are two steps in becoming a Certified LSO/MLSO. First, an individual must provide information demonstrating he or she meets certain educational prerequisites and work experience. Second, the individual must pass an examination demonstrating his/her knowledge in the area of laser safety. To see a complete list of CLSOs and CMLSOs please visit www.lasersafety.org

For more information you can contact the Board of Laser Safety by phone 1.800.34.LASER or email [email protected].

LIA cultivates innovation, ingenuity and inspiration to promote the continued growth and safe use of laser applications.

At the Laser Institute of America (LIA), we believe in the importance of sharing new ideas about lasers. In fact, laser pioneers such as Dr. Arthur Schawlow and Dr. Theodore H. Maiman were among LIA’s original founders who set the stage for our enduring mission to promote laser applications and their safe use through education, training and symposia.

LIA was formed in 1968 by people who represented the heart of the profession—a group of academic scientists, developers and engineers who were truly passionate about taking an emerging new laser technology and turning it into a viable industry.

Educating the World on Laser Applications and Safety Today, this unwavering dedication continues to propel LIA as we meet the growing demand for continuing

education and safety training. LIA trains more Laser Safety Officers than any other organization in the world. We are also proud to offer flexible and convenient learning options including online training, in the classroom, or even on-site.

One of LIA’s signature events is the International Congress on Applications of Lasers & Electro-Optics (ICALEO®), which is viewed as the premier source of technical information in the field. As the market demand for laser applications continues to rise globally, LIA’s Pacific International Conference on Lasers and Optics (PICALO) has become increasingly more popular. And, safety professionals come from all over the world to attend our International Laser Safety Conference (ILSC).

Serving the Laser Community Recognized as the international society for laser applications and safety,

LIA serves industrial, educational, medical, research and government communities across the globe. Our members are comprised of laser researchers, manufacturers, integrators and end users—all working together to increase the use and safe application of laser technologies.

Setting the Standard To further enhance LIA’s mission of fostering lasers, laser

applications, and laser safety worldwide, it serves as the secretariat and publisher of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z136 series of laser safety standards. These standards constitute the foundation of laser safety programs nationwide.

Become Part of the LIA Experience Whether you are new to the world of lasers or an experienced laser professional, LIA is for you. We offer a wide

array of products, services, education and events to enhance your laser safety knowledge and expertise. As an individual or corporate member, you will qualify for significant discounts on LIA materials, training courses and the industry’s most popular LIA conferences. We invite you to become part of the LIA experience—cultivating innovation, ingenuity and inspiration.

Laser Curtains/Barriers PL Systems has over 30 years of experience and is the industry leader in the design and innovation of laser curtains. We also lead the industry in customer service. Our curtains are installed in Colleges, Universities and research laboratories coast to coast for wide variety of applications that include laser, infra-red, ultra-violet, measurement, gene separation and silver halide.

PL Systems curtains are manufactured with self extinguishing modacrylic fiber (SEF). This is an important safety feature in order to meet state and local fire codes. In laboratory tests our curtains exceeded the safety codes of the City of New York, Boston and the State of California. In addition our curtains meet the ANSI standards for lasers classified as 3b and 4 with our unique interlock system – Laser Guard Electronic System “LGES”.

Our curtains are manufactured to architectural and customer requirements. They are designed and manufactured for permanent installation in specific locations.

Contact us for more information on the following: at www.plsys.net

• Architectural Specifications • Submittal Drawing Pages • Single Track & Curtain Systems • Double Track & Curtain Systems • Installation Material Track & Curtain Samples • Track Samples • Laser Guard (Interlock) for Auto Laser Shut Off for

Existing and New Curtain Installations

The Interlock protection system should be considered for all lasers. The American National Standards Institute recommends that Lasers which are classified as 3b and 4 must have interlock systems. PL Systems Laser Guard Electronic System meets these requirements. The LGES when connected to the interlock, which is available on most Laser products, will shut down the Laser once the protected area has been exposed.

Sperian Protection, formerly GPT Glendale, is celebrating 40 years of service to the laser community. Since 1968, Sperian and its predecessors have consistently delivered world class laser eye protection products to the entire laser industry. We pride ourselves in developing state of the art technologies to keep abreast of this rapidly expanding and changing field. From polymer and glass based filters to reflective coatings, patented HT (high transmission) notch dyes and multi material frame designs for long lasting comfort, Sperian has been in the fore front.

Sperian also has a large line of laser protective windows, film and disposable laser eye protection for the patient and electronic eyewear for IPL or bright light applications.

Our line of specialty filters for light management selectively absorbs discreet bands of light while allowing others to pass. Combined with sensors, we simulate the natural response of the eye to light. This technology can be used to automatically turn your car lights on or off, or adjust your rearview mirror. Our military avonic filters allow you to see all instrumentation while wearing night vision equipment.

For all your laser eye protection or light management needs, turn to the experts, turn to Sperian.
