LASER Safety

The LASER (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) Safety Program oversees the safe use of Class 3B and 4 laser sources in research, teaching and the workplace at UBC.

Our services include:

  • Laser Safety Program Training
  • Laboratory inspection services
  • Review of non-beam hazards associated with laser use
  • Review of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
  • Consultation and guidance with SOPs

Since Class 3B and 4 lasers present unique hazards, UBC requires that all units in these classes be registered with Risk Management Services. Download the registration form here.
