53 lesson hours
Activity type
WRITTEN AND ORAL TEST
Prerequisites
Understanding of basic principles of electromagnetic theory, geometrical and wave optics.
Learning outcomes
The course is designed to teach the required knowledge to perform laser safety. The program, divided into lectures and practical classes, meets TSL training requirements outlined by CEI (Comitato Elettrotecnico Italiano).
The course is divided into three parts: basic knowledge, TSL expertise, numerical exercises and measurements.
Course contents
Basic knowledge:
Laser fundamental physics and applications
Laws and standards about laser safety
Biological effects of laser radiation
Exposure Limit Values (ELV) and Maximum Permitted Exposure (MPE)
Accessible Emission Levels (AEL) and laser classification
Laser risk assessment
Laser radiation collateral hazards
Selecting control measures
Laser guards and viewing windows
Personal protective equipment
Expertise:
Mathematical approach
Manufacturer's requirements
How to measure the laser radiation
Protective eyewear choice
Numerical exercises and measures
Will be proposed numerical examples and measurements:
Determination of the Exposure Limit Values (ELV)
Calculation of accessible emission levels
Classification of continuous and pulsed lasers
Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance
Protective eyewear choice
Teaching methods
Lectures (hours/year in lecture theatre): 41
Practical class and measures (hours/year in lecture theatre): 12
Reccomended or required readings
Laser safety laws, standards (IEC-EN-CEI, UNI) in force. Lecture notes
Assessment methods
Written test generally, which includes theory and numerical exercises. The sufficient students can be accept the mark gotten in the written test or they can do a oral test. Each student has to attend all practical classes.
