Radiation and Laser Safety
Laser and laser systems present a potential safety hazard to students, staff, and faculty if the device is not used and/or stored properly. The primary focus of the Bowling Green State University Laser Safety Program is to ensure that all users are aware of the potential hazards of all lasers pertinent to their research or operations. The program also highlights additional requirements for Class 3 or Class 4 lasers.
