Welcome to the IUPUI Online Laser Safety Training
 
Before You Begin...
All First-time users need to Register before attempting to Login to training section.

Section 5 of the American National Standard (ANSI) Z136.1 states that “Laser safety training program(s) shall be provided to the users of Class 3b or Class 4 lasers and laser systems.” and “Users shall include operators, technicians, engineers, maintenance and service personnel, and any other personnel, working with or around lasers.”

This webpage contains both a training module and an exam portion for all laser users on campus. Laser users are defined as personnel that could be exposed to laser radiation above the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) level.

The ANSI definition of MPE is “The level of laser radiation to which a person may be exposed without hazardous effect or adverse biological changes in the eye or skin.”

If you are a class 3b or class 4 laser user on campus you must first register using the registration link above. Once you have registered you must log into the IUPUI Online Laser Safety Training. This training module was developed by the Department of Environmental Health and Safety to provide you with basic laser safety principles and practices. This module will require about 30 minutes to complete. You can also print off a handout for note taking that includes copies of all slides used in the presentation using the Training Notes link above.

Once you have completed the IUPUI Online Laser Safety Training module you are required to take the Laser Safety Training Exam. All users are required to take and pass this exam before beginning work with lasers. Please log into the the Exam Login above to take this exam.

After your exam has been submitted, you will receive a certification in the mail if you passed. If you do not pass the exam we will contact you to set up a personalized training session.
