Check out the OSHA Web Site at:

Mike, Eric & PSNet:
Thank you for your swift reply. However, the information that you provided
concerns the FDA/CDRH regulations contained in 21CFR Parts 1000, 1002 and 1040.
We are fully aware of these FDA regulations.
We contacted The Laser Institute of America for additional information, but they
could only provide the document referenced in my initial e-mail message of
5/10/96 (OSHA Guidelines For Safety and Hazard Assessment).
Can anyone provide additional information concerning what specific
OSHA regulations require:
1) Laser safety training for employees that operate laser equipment
2) Assignment of a Laser Safety Officer (LSO) in an environment
where Class III or IV laser radiation is accessible to employees
3) Medical Surveillance (Requirement that employees working with
lasers must have an eye exam by an optometrist / ophthalmologist)
29 CFR Part 1926.54(a) states "Only qualified and trained employees
shall be assigned to install, adjust, and operate laser equipment."
However, 29 CFR Part 1926 is titled "SAFETY AND HEALTH REGULATIONS FOR
CONSTRUCTION".
Any information regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken Shadoff

The Laser Institute of America 1-800-34LASER puts out many laser related
publications, one of which is "Regulatory Requirements for Laser Product
Manufacturers (Updated for 1996). Includes regulations published by FDA/CDRH
to enforce the Federal Laser Product Performance Standard. This may answer
your questions.
