WHY LIA LASER SAFETY TRAINING? LIA originally developed and now regularly updates the LASER SAFETY regulations!

CO2 Medical Laser Safety Training – Normally costing $95, the ALSC’s special discounted price is $50. As the use of CO2 lasers continues to expand in routine clinical applications and in many surgical specialties, the demand for medical staff trained in the safe use of these lasers will also continue to grow. LIA’s CO2 Medical Laser Safety Training online course provides a solid foundation in the safe use of lasers specifically in clinical and surgical applications.

Physician’s Laser Safety Training – Normally costing $149, the ALSC’s special discounted price for the course is $75. LIA has assessed the special set of concerns regarding laser safety for physicians in a medical facility, especially a surgical environment. In less than two hours – accessed entirely online from your home or office – you will gain valuable knowledge and understanding of the basics of laser safety in a surgical environment, legal requirements, who regulates lasers, safe operating use, and safety controls.
