Checklist for Lasers

Old Space Deactivation

Ensure that all electrical equipment/devices that may have stored electrical energy, such as capacitors, are properly de–energized/discharged.

Ensure that all laser-related hazardous materials are packaged and transported in accordance with all applicable requirements. See appendix B, “Checklist for Chemicals” and appendix D, “Checklist for Compressed Gases.”

Contact the Laser Safety Offices at EH&S to report that you will no longer be using lasers at this location.

Move Preparation

If you operate a laser, your laboratory's Laser Use Registration (LUR) must be amended to reflect your new location. Contact EH&S at 642–3073 to begin this process.

The laser room/facility into which you are moving may be required to meet the design criteria for new laser laboratories. Please contact the Laser Safety Officer regarding this.

If you are moving to an off-campus location and need to ship laser-related hazardous materials, contact EH&S as early as possible to make the necessary arrangements.

Packing and Transportation

Package and transport your laser system according to the manufacturer's guidelines.

In Your New Space

Ensure that your LUR has been amended to reflect your new location prior to starting research. Contact the Laser Safety Officer at 642-3073 to schedule an inspection prior to starting work.

Before activating any laser system, ensure that all entrances to the laser research facility/room are posted with the appropriate laser-hazard warning sign. Contact the Laser Safety Officer to obtain the appropriate signage.
