Mentoring, do what I say and follow my lead / Ken Barat -- 12. Can everyone understand your work? Considering visual disabilities when designing graphics and presentation / Lisa Manglass -- 13. Managing laser safety across multiple sites / Vince Staub part III. Not the usual topics, going outside the space-time continuum. 14. Ergonomics in a laser lab, you must be joking / Ken Barat -- 15. Laser safety tools: making your life better for less / Ken Barat -- 16. Evaluation and design of laser barriers / Tom MacMullin -- 17. US and European test methodology for laser protective eyewear / Michael D. Thomas -- 18. Elements and considerations in designing and or selecting a room interlock system / Patrick Bong -- 19. Considerations when specifying laser eyewear for ultrafast applications / Michael D. Thomas -- 20. Paperwork considerations (not documented, not done) / Ken Barat -- 21. Explaining engineering control measures found in standards / Ken Barat -- 22. Illuminated sign, a closer look / Ken Barat -- 23. Dye laser, hazards and good practice for safe use / Ken Barat -- 24. Laser disposal, end of life cycle thoughts, hospice for your laser / Ken Barat part IV. Problems and solutions, are you dealing with these? 25. How are you dealing with these topics? / Ken Barat.
Laser safety is undoubtedly incredibly important when running any optical lab. This book is a detailed guide to laser safety methods and is highly useful for people who regularly work with lasers and similar technologies.
Students, researchers, engineers, physicists.
Mode of access: World Wide Web.
System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.
