A Laser Safety Officer (LSO) is someone designated by the employer with the authority to evaluate and control laser hazards, implement appropriate safety measures, and ensure your practice complies with all required standards and regulations. To be an effective LSO, you’ll need a solid understanding of laser safety protocols and regulatory guidelines. While requirements can vary by state, ANSI regulations require anyone who uses, operates, or maintains a laser to have laser safety training. Our LSO course provides you with the knowledge and tools needed to take on this crucial role with confidence, ensuring a safe environment for both your team and your patients.

Laser safety involves much more than just ensuring your laser is functional. To keep your practice safe and compliant, you need to follow regulations and safety protocols that protect both your team and your patients. This includes:

• Proper eyewear protection for patients and staff – Laser safety glasses must be inspected every 6 months to ensure they meet safety standards.
• Non-beam hazards – Fire risks, reflective surfaces, and other environmental dangers must be identified and controlled.
• Accident and injury reporting policies – Required by ANSI and state radiation control boards, these policies ensure proper documentation and response to any laser-related incidents.
• Routine safety audits and inspections – Annual safety audits are mandatory to verify compliance with all laser safety regulations.
• Laser calibration and maintenance – Required per manufacturer guidelines, and records of calibration and maintenance must be properly maintained.
• Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for safe laser use – Legally required for all Class 3B and Class 4 lasers to ensure proper handling and operation.

Our Laser Safety Officer course covers all of these essential areas, giving you the knowledge and tools to confidently implement a comprehensive and compliant laser safety program in your office.

Absolutely! Many offices rely on dental assistants to handle laser setup, maintenance, and safety—yet they are often left out of formal training. Instead, they are expected to learn from the doctor’s quick instructions or simply figure things out on their own.

The problem? Lasers are expensive, and improper handling can lead to costly repairs—like kinked cords, damaged fibers, or misused settings. Beyond that, there’s a real safety risk if assistants don’t know how to properly inspect the laser, ensure protective measures are in place, or handle emergencies.

This course gives dental assistants—and the entire team—the knowledge they need to:
✔ Properly maintain and care for the laser to avoid costly damage
✔ Understand laser safety protocols to protect themselves, the doctor, and the patient
✔ Recognize potential issues before they turn into expensive repairs
✔ Know what to do in an emergency to keep everyone safe

Lasers are a major investment, and this course ensures your entire team knows how to use and care for them properly—protecting both your practice and your patients.
