Abstract:
Health care laser systems offer general laser hazards and additional specific concerns unique to the clinical environment. A formal laser hazard evaluation procedure provides an efficient mechanism for identifying potential laser safety hazards. This paper outlines such a medical laser hazard evaluation program and highlights the unique characteristics of medical lasers.
