The American National Standard Institute Z-136 Committee has decided to investigate the writing of a new laser safety standard for educational institutions. The writing of this new standard has a high priority due to the increasing number of laser accidents reported from these schools of learning. This concern is supported by statistics in recent articles on laser accidents and laser safety.
