10 EHS emergency contact "Pink Card" is posted at lab entry with current information 11 Viewing aids are used for alignment of invisible beams 12 LEP is available prior to entry into laser controlled area. 13 Are spectators/visitors allowed in the lab during laser operation? 14 If spectators are allowed in the laser lab, provide responses to the following questions. Each much be answered in the affirmative to be satisfactory. 15 LS approved? Hazards explained? Have laser related injuries occurred? Direct supervision? LEP provided? 16 Laser related injuries reported to the LSO 17 Windows within the NHZ are appropriately protected to prevent laser radiation above the MPE exiting the area 18 Laser barriers or curtains are used to prevent laser radiation from exiting the laser controlled area 19 A barrier prevents exposure of an individual entering the laser controlled area 20 Gas cylinders are secured against tipping
21 Applicable gas cylinders stored in a dangerous gas cabinet in accordance with the GT Dangerous Gas Program, Table 1 22 Have any lasers been surplused/disposed? Describe the disposal method. 23 Laser(s) surplused? Returned to Vendor? Laser Inventory Verified by Laser Supervisor? Picked up by GT Logistics? Sent to Re-Sale Vendor? 24 Questions for Class 3B and 4 Lasers Laser Supervisor has submitted Form LR-1, Laser Registration to LSO for each laser 25 Written SOP is available for laser(s) in use. 26 Laser Users have received operational training by the Laser Supervisor or designee (indicated by the presence of the Laser User's signature on the 27 Appropriate laser eye protection is available for laser(s) 28 LEP (laser eye protection) is labeled with the protected wavelength and OD 29 Is alignment eyewear used? 30 If alignment eyewear is not already used, is it needed? 31 Laser eye protection is undamaged or has only superficial damage that is not likely to impact the protection provided.
32 Controls located so operator is not exposed to beam hazards 33 Laser control panel has a light indicating laser emission 34 Protective housing present and in good condition 35 Laser classification label is present on laser(s) 36 Laser classification label includes laser type, wavelength, maximum output, pulse duration (if applicable), and laser class 37 Aperture label present on laser(s) 38 Is a service panel present on the protective housing? 39 If a service panel is present, the panel is interlocked or only removable with a tool 40 If a service panel is not interlocked, a laser warning statement label is present on the service panel 41 Are collecting optics used? 42 If collecting optics are used, describe the optics. Collecting optics description
43 Interlocks prevent viewing of direct beam through collecting optics 44 Are collecting optics used by the laser user to directly view laser light (i.e., no camera imaging)? 45 Filters or attenuators are in place on collecting optics and labeled with OD and protected wavelength or LEP with proper OD for the wavelength is used when 46 Describe the beam paths present 47 Fiber optics Fiber used for transmission? "Hazardous Laser" label? Exceed MPE when disconnect ed? 48 Skin protection available for open beam UV laser(s) use 49 Laser generated air contaminants properly ventilated 50 No watches or other reflective jewelry is worn by individuals operating the laser or working with the laser setup. 51 Are any lasers used outdoors or projected outdoors? 52 Outdoor lasers emitted into navigable airspace have been reported to and approved by the FAA
53 54 Indoor/Outdoor laser demonstrations have been reported to and acknowledged by the FDA. Additional Questions for Class 4 Lasers Entryway controls for the Class 4 laser controlled area are 55 Class 4 laser(s) operated under direct supervision of Laser Supervisor or Laser User 56 Class 4 laser(s) are left operating with no one present 57 A red warning light is present at the entry to a Class 4 laser controlled area(s) 58 A clearly marked "Emergency Stop" is labeled for each Class 4 laser 59 60 Barriers used for Class 4 lasers are rated for sufficient damage threshold and are flame retardant Barrier Manufacturer Barrier Damage Threshold Barrier Model Barrier Test Duration No evidence of un-controlled beams in lab with Class 4 laser (e.g., burns on walls, doors) Performed by: Date:
