LASER SAFETY INSERVICE PRESENTATIONS

As the Laser Safety Officer (LSO) or department manager, you're required by ANSI to provide documented Laser Safety training for ALL Peri-operative employees. Here is some material that can help - either the Laser Safety Powerpoint shows that you can present yourself.  If your staff then opts to take the Laser Video post-test (for the powerpoint presentation) and return it to us, we can provide Certificates of Laser Training that are accredited up to 1.0 contact hour. Otherwise you'll just keep your in-service sign-in sheet as your documentation of training.

OTHER LASER SAFETY TRAINING OPTIONS.
We do sell interactive Laser Safety programs on CD-ROM, as do other organizations, but these are individual programs that each person must sit down to complete. The advantage of this is that the material content is much more in-depth and provides a greater number of accredited contact hours. The disadvantage is that it's difficult to use this as a general in-service tool for the staff. We recommend using the Laser Safety Inservice video or powerpoint show material for your routine and annual inservices, and offer the interactive programs with more credits as options to those who are interested, or for your Laser Safety Officer. In-House Laser Safety training can also be provided on-site to your own facility and we can include hands-on work with your own equipment.

• LASER SAFETY POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS ON ONE CD: $125 Plus $15 shipping and handling. Call 800-435-3131 to order. PRESENT THIS INSERVICE YOURSELF.
  This Laser Safety Inservice is oriented toward hospitals, surgical centers and medical/surgical clinics. Two versions of the powerpoint show are included on the CD. One is 45 slides and the other 71 slides. Each meets all the requirements for teaching Laser Safety to staff as recommended by ANSI 136.3 (American National Standards Institute) Recommendations for safe use of Lasers in Health Care facilities. This includes basic laser and energy concepts including different types of lasers and wavelength effects to eye and skin, basic energy concepts, tissue interaction, and safety practices including detailed discussion on laser eye and skin burn hazards. Prompt slides are included at strategic locations throughout the presentations to discuss the specific safety policies of your own facility. The shorter version is a safety orientation meant for general staff and can be presented in 15-30 minutes. The longer version is a safety presentation that can be delivered in 30-50 minutes and is meant for the laser operators and those working more often in the laser environment. Those choosing to have attendees take the Laser Video post test and return it for a certificate and credits should give the longer presentation prior to the test.
