Laser Safety Procedure Template
Laser Transfer and Disposal Guideline
Laser Pointer Safety
A laser pointer contains a small diode laser that emits an intense beam of light often used for directing attention during a presentation. Follow these safety considerations when using a laser pointer.
Laser Alignment Guidelines
The Laser Alignment Guidelines provides guidance for developing specific alignment procedures for a Class 3B or Class 4 laser system.
Medical Use of Radioactive Materials
A physician who administers radioactive material to humans must have specific training and experience. This also applies to medical physicists who conduct the treatment planning for specific cancer treatments. Physicians who want to become an Authorized User (AU) of radioactive materials and medical physicists who want to become an Authorized Medical Physicist (AMP) for gamma knife treatments must be approved by the Radiation Safety Committee (RSC).
Radiological Contamination Surveys
State and federal regulations require surveys of public areas and areas where radioactive materials are used to detect contamination and measure radiation levels.
Radiation Use Authorization (RUA)
EH&S’s Radiation Safety team issues Radiation Use Authorizations (RUAs) to principal investigators who use radioactive material.
Principal Investigators (PIs) and researchers who work with radioactive material must be properly trained, and must conduct the work under a Radiation Use Authorization (RUA) issued by EH&S’s Radiation Safety team.
