NCI-Frederick Laser Safety Training
For New Users Computer-Based

To remain in compliance with ANSI Z136.1, individuals that work with Class 3b and /or Class 4 lasers or laser systems must receive laser safety training.   Laser Safety Training at the Facility is provided by a computer-based training (CBT) course.
