Description

The University of California at Berkeley Laser Safety Program is intended to provide staff, researchers, students and visitors with a safe laser use environment. All Class 3b and 4 lasers on the campus must be registered with the UC Berkeley Non-Ionizing Radiation Safety Program. The Office of Environment, Health & Safety administers this program for the UC Berkeley Non-Ionizing Radiation Safety Committee (NIRSC). The campus Laser Safety Officer (LSO) is responsible for implementation of the Non-Ionizing Radiation Safety program.
