This book provides a clear and concise guide for scientists in research and development who work with lasers. It addresses several laser use techniques and laser safety approaches that are not found in other texts, including vertical beam use and approaches, safety with high high-power lasers, and reflectivity of different materials. Manual of Laser Safety provides a resource of items of direct value to the laser user and safety professional.

Covering all classes of lasers, this book is

  • An essential tool for laser safety officers to issue to team members

  • Presented in a succinct manner addressing the latest best practices, regulations, and standards

  • Written by the leading author and authorities in the field

Manual of Laser Safety is specifically written for R&D scientists in academia and industry. It is a valuable primer for professionals working in lab safety.

Lasers, Public and occupational health and safety, Legislation and regulation, Laboratory safety procedures, Safety eyeglasses, Laser physics

My hope is that laser users will find this text of value as well as an easy read. Thank you to the contributing authors for their time and willingness to work on this project. They all are extremely knowledgeable in their fields. Thank you also to my wife Pat who gave me the time to work on this text. Thanks to all of you.
