NEWLY REVISED ANSI Z136.1 Safe Use of Lasers (2014) The parent document and cornerstone of the Z136 series of laser safety standards, the ANSI Z136.1 provides guidance for the safe use of lasers and laser systems by defining control measures for each of the four laser classes. Pub #106 Pub #106E As a result of advances in laser devices and applications, it is recommended that this standard be obtained by all laser users and is a must for users of Class 3B and Class 4 lasers. This revision of the standard includes laser hazard classification definitions, requirements for refresher training and updates to medical surveillance requirements, providing an updated and thorough set of guidelines for implementation of a safe laser program. $193 LIA Member Price: $173 Updated to the ANSI Z136.1 Safe Use of Lasers (2014) The EVALUATOR Laser Safety Hazard Analysis System Laser Safety Guide, Twelfth Edition Monthly Subscription Packages: Basic: $14.99 LIA Member Price: $9.99 Intermediate:$34.99 LIA Member Price: $29.99 Advanced: $69.99 LIA Member Price: $59.99 The Evaluator utilizes an innovative delivery system to provide a new and improved user experience for laser safety officers of all skill levels. Based on the ANSI Z136.1 Safe Use of Lasers standard, and now updated to reflect the changes in the 2014 version, the Evaluator is designed to provide enhanced accessibility, easier navigation and more accurate results. This innovative system provides a reliable way to easily double-check laser safety calculations. It will perform repeated calculations of maximum permissible exposure, optical density, nominal ocular hazard distance, nominal hazard zone and laser hazard classification. With three monthly subscription packages and pricing levels to choose from - advanced, intermediate or basic - your organization can pay for only the features it needs. For more information on the benefits of using the web-based Evaluator system, and pricing for annual subscription options visit Pub #103 Revised to comply with the updated ANSI Z standard, the Laser Safety Guide is a fundamental tool for all laser personnel. It outlines potential hazards for all types of lasers and provides easyto-understand guidelines for controlling laser hazards. The guide is easy to read and provides the essentials needed for a general comprehension of laser safety concepts. Designed to introduce employees and customers to lasers and laser safety, it details each laser classification and the corresponding control measures necessary to protect users. $25 LIA Member Price: $20

3 ANSI STANDARDS Pub #112 Pub #112E Pub #113 Pub #113E Pub #117 Pub #117E Pub #114 Pub #114E ANSI Z136.2 Safe Use of Optical Fiber Communication Systems Utilizing Laser Diode and LED Sources (2012) This standard provides guidance for the safe use, maintenance, service, and installation of optical communications systems utilizing laser diodes or light emitting diodes. Optical communication systems include end-to-end optical fiber based links, fixed terrestrial point-to-point free-space links, or a combination. This standard is intended to be used by those who assemble the endto-end system and by service, maintenance and other personnel who may come in contact with such systems in uncontrolled, controlled and restricted locations. It provides detailed safety information for systems where optical energy may be accessible and where source parameters are uncertain or not under the control of the user. ANSI Z136.3 Safe Use of Lasers in Health Care (2011) The ANSI Z136.3 is recognized as the definitive document on laser safety in all health-care environments. It provides guidance for the safe use of lasers for medicine, diagnostic, cosmetic, preventive and therapeutic applications in any location where bodily structure or function is altered or symptoms are relieved. Lasers used in these applications are incorporated into an system, which includes a delivery system, a power supply, mechanical housing and associated liquids and gases as required for operating the laser. The entire system is referred to as a health-care laser system, and this standard is intended for use by all personnel associated with the installation, operation, calibration and maintenance and service of the system. A must for hospitals, medical centers, spas, veterinary offices and clinics using lasers. ANSI Z136.4 Recommended Practice for Laser Safety Measurements (2010) Provides guidance for optical measurements associated with laser safety requirements. The information contained in this document is intended to assist users entrusted with conducting laser hazard evaluations to ensure that appropriate control measures are implemented. ANSI Z136.5 Safe Use of Lasers in Educational Institutions (2009) This standard applies the requirements of the ANSI Z136.1 Safe Use of Lasers to the unique environments associated with educational institutions. ANSI Z136.5 specifically provides laser safety guidance by evaluating and minimizing hazards associated with laser radiation in educational settings at all levels. It also discusses developing laser safety programs and student training, and is intended to be used in conjunction with the ANSI Z $99 LIA Member Price: $79 REDUCED PRICE Pub #116 Pub #116E Pub #115 Pub #115E Pub #118A Pub #118AE Pub #119 Pub # 119E ANSI Z136.6 Safe Use of Lasers Outdoors (2005) This standard provides guidance for the safe use of lasers in an outdoor environment. It covers product performance of lasers used outdoors including those that have been granted a variance or exemption from the provisions of the Federal product performance standard (21 CFR 1040). $100* LIA Member Price: $80* * Limited time reduced price is for the 2005 version of ANSI Z136.6 only. ANSI Z136.7 Testing and Labeling of Laser Protective Equipment (2008) This standard provides reasonable and adequate guidance on the test methods, protocols and specifications for devices used to provide eye protection from lasers and laser systems. Testing procedures are provided to ensure that eyewear, windows and barriers maintain their specified level of protection throughout the life of the products. ANSI Z136.8 Safe Use of Lasers in Research, Development, or Testing (2012) The ANSI Z136.8 standard arose from the increasing reliance on lasers in labs and other research-designated areas. Developed to distinguish it from the parent ANSI Z136.1 Safe Use of Lasers document by including two additional hazard analysis areas, beam path and beam interaction, this standard summarizes the proper procedures in unrestricted, restricted, controlled, exclusion and inaccessible locations. In addition, the ANSI Z136.8 allows the use of alignment eyewear, non-certified lasers, export controls, and warning signs. Included are sample audit forms for labs and program reviews. $160 LIA Member Price: $140 ANSI Z136.9 Safe Use of Lasers in Manufacturing Environments (2013) The ANSI Z136.9 is available at a critical time, as lasers continue to populate more processing lines in the aerospace, automotive, energy, defense and health-care industries.
