This new edition provides the Z136.8 Research Laser Standard and offers updates and an explanation of eye exposure limits, e.g., maximum permissible exposure (MPE). There are also new case studies and practical example images. It includes laser lab design lessons and addresses user facility challenges and laser disposal. The various sections deal with components of laser work, laser safety from the optical table, power meters, training adults and other similar topics. The content will be very useful for the laser safety officer or laser user. This book would be a practical textbook for both the novice and the seasoned professional.
