About Lesson

What are Administrative Controls?

Administrative controls involve procedures, policies, and management practices that minimize laser risks. These controls ensure that laser operations are conducted safely and in compliance with established standards.

  • Training and Certification:

    • Proper training ensures that individuals understand the specific risks associated with laser use and how to mitigate them.
    • Example: Personnel operating Class 3B or Class 4 lasers must have specialized training in handling high-power equipment safely.
  • Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs):

    • SOPs outline step-by-step instructions for safely using lasers, including setup, operation, and shutdown processes.
    • Importance: Provides clear guidelines to avoid unsafe practices, especially in complex laser operations.
  • Regular Safety Audits and Inspections:

    • Consistent inspections help maintain safety standards and ensure that equipment remains in compliance with safety protocols.
    • Outcome: Identifies potential hazards or maintenance issues before they become critical safety concerns.
