Standard Operating Procedures

One of the more important administrative and procedural controls is the written Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). The ANSI Z 136.1 standard requires an SOP for a Class 4 laser and recommends SOPs for Class 3B lasers.

The key to developing an effective SOP is the involvement of those individuals who operate, maintain, and service the equipment under guidance of the Laser Safety Officer. The SOP must be accurate in describing the operation of the laser and the hazards to be mitigated. Laser injury emergency procedures and safety training requirements for staff should be included in the SOP.

The LSO should review and update the SOPs annually, or when conditions or equipment change.
