Medical Laser Safety Officer Training

Medical Laser Safety Officer Training is organized by Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) and will be held from Apr 25 - 26, 2026.

Description:
The use of medical lasers and types of laser equipment are expanding rapidly across surgical and procedural areas to improve precision and patient outcomes. As numbers of perioperative team members and patients exposed to lasers rise – so do the risks.

That's why each facility that uses lasers is required to designate a Medical Laser Safety Officer (MLSO) trained in monitoring safe usage, defining the proper hazard control measures, and enforcing facility laser safety procedures.

Highlights Include:

• Ensure Laser Safety: Monitor and enforce laser safety standards to protect patients and staff
• Understand Laser Risks: Learn hazard categories, safe-use guidelines, and additional risks
• Clarify Roles & Responsibilities: Know expectations for healthcare professionals using lasers
• Train for Best Practices: Implement effective staff training and safety procedures
