Certification Information:
The various Laser Certifications offered
through the NCLE/BLS are voluntary professional credentials. They
are not a requirement to hold the position of the Laser Safety
Officer, but do reflect a higher level of knowledge of the holder of
the Certification. States that have requirments for formal training
of LSO's only require the Certificate of Laser Training - not the
actual Laser Certification.
This course does qualify one to sit for the NCLE/BLS Medical Laser
Safety Officer Certification at the course end, and the testing/application fee is
covered as part of this course.
Participants are encourage to download and read the
Laser Certification Candidate Handbook for details on the MLSO
Certification, and visit the Board of Laser Safety
(BLS) website.
