Successful training for laser safety officers

For the first time, ifw Jena provided training as a laser safety officer. On two days, the participants received a comprehensive overview of the dangers of laser radiation and efficient protection methods at the workplace.

A trained laser safety officer is indispensable at workplaces where laser radiation is used. This person is responsible for ensuring a safe working environment so that accidents with often serious consequences are avoided.

On December 11 and 12 2019, ifw Jena held its first training course for laser safety officers. Participants from various industries learned about the basic functions and effects of various lasers and dealt with the legal principles, hazards from laser radiation, and proper protective measures when working with laser radiation.

At the end of the training, all participants passed the written examination and can now be employed in their company as responsible laser safety officers.

The next training will take place presumably in spring 2020.
