about the lia

The LIA is dedicated to fostering lasers, laser applications and laser safety worldwide.lia cultivates innovation, ingenuity and inspiration to promote

the continued growth and safe use of laser applications.

At the Laser Institute of America (LIA), we believe in the importance of sharing

new ideas about lasers. In fact, laser pioneers such as Dr. Arthur Schawlow

and Dr. Theodore H. Maiman were among LIA’s original founders who set the

stage for our enduring mission to promote laser applications and their safe

use through education, training and symposia.

LIA was formed in 1968 by people who represented the heart of the

profession—a group of academic scientists, developers and engineers who

were truly passionate about taking emerging laser technology and turning it

into a viable industry.

educating the world on laser applications and safety

Today, this unwavering dedication continues to propel LIA as we meet the

growing demand for continuing education and safety training. LIA trains

more Laser Safety Officers than any other organization in the world. We are

also proud to offer flexible and convenient learning options including online

training, in the classroom, or even on-site.

One of LIA’s signature events is the International Congress on Applications

of Lasers & Electro-Optics (ICALEO®), which is viewed as the premier

source of technical information in the field. As the market demand for laser

applications continues to rise globally, LIA’s Pacific International Conference

on Applications of Laser and Optics (PICALO) has become increasingly

popular. Laser safety experts from all over the world meet at the International

Laser Safety Conference (ILSC®) and significant impacts on the widespread

industrial implementations of laser additive manufacturing continue to be

shared at LIA’s Laser Additive Manufacturing Workshop (LAM).

serving the laser Community

Recognized as the international society for laser applications and safety,

LIA serves industrial, educational, medical, research and government

communities across the globe. Our members are comprised of laser

researchers, manufacturers, integrators and end users—all working

together to increase the use and safe application of laser technologies.

setting the standard

To further enhance LIA’s mission of fostering lasers, laser applications

and laser safety worldwide, it serves as the secretariat and publisher

of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z136 series of laser

safety standards. These standards constitute the foundation of laser

safety programs nationwide.

Pub #106a ansi Z136.1 (2007) for safe use of lasersISBN# 978-0-912035-65-9The parent document and cornerstone of the Z136 series of laser safety standards, the revised 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. As a result of advances in laser devices and applications, new guidelines have been incorporated into this 2007 revision. The new revision should be obtained by all laser end users and is a must for users of class 3B and 4 lasers as it renders all previous editions obsolete. Since the ANSI Z136.1 standard is the foundation of laser safety programs for industrial, military, medical and educational applications nationwide, revisions to the previous version can and will affect the training and practice of laser safety in these environments. Changes to the previous version include the addition of new laser hazard classification definitions, new requirements for refresher training and changes to medical surveillance requirements. The ANSI Z136.1 standard provides

an updated and thorough set of guidelines for implementing a safe laser program. In addition to these changes, the standard covers laser safety program provisions including the duties and responsibilities of the LSO, non-beam hazards, administrative/engineering control measures, definitions, optical density, nominal hazard zone (NHZ), MPEs, accessible emission limit (AEL), bioeffects, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and example calculations (soft bound, 276 pages).
