Training will be provided to personnel who work with or on Class 3b and Class 4 lasers and should be provided to personnel working with or around Class 2 and Class 3a lasers or laser systems. The level of training required is related to the potential hazards. Laser operators will have the general training for laser workers and specific, on-the-job training for the particular laser(s) they will operate.

General training will be provided by the ES&H Division and specific training will be provided by system laser safety officers. SLSOs will maintain a record of training provided to laser personnel, including on-the-job training.

Using the employee STA,managers and supervisors determine the appropriate training requirements for personnel and ensure that all personnel are appropriately trained in laser hazards and controls before beginning work with lasers. Supervisors or safety delegates at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (SSRL) may use an SSRL Hazards Form to determine training requirements for non-SLAC employee users.
