Program Description
Cal/OSHA incorporates the ANSI Z136 Laser Safety Standard by reference.
The SFSU laser safety program follows the recommended practices described in the ANSI standard as it applies to Class 3B or Class 4 lasers.
Laser safety training is provided.
A Laser Safety Committee (aka Non-Ionizing Radiation Committee) meets as needed.
CY 2023 Update
The use of Class 3B and Class 4 lasers continued but many of the labs that use lasers were not active due to moves and the loss of faculty.
The Non-Ionizing Radiation Committee did not meet in 2023. We plan to resume meetings in 2024.
