Laser hazards and safety in the military environment. Lecture series
The Lecture Series is intended to provide an understanding of the safety problems associated with the military use of lasers. The most important hazard is the inadvertent irradiation of the eye and so the series will include contributions from the physical and biological sciences, as well as from ophthalmologists. Those involved with laser safety come from many backgrounds -- from physics to engineering and from vision physiology to clinical ophthalmology and it is essential that each understands the contribution of the other. The lectures include an introductory part and from this, the more advanced aspects of each subject are covered, leading to the issues involved in the design of safety codes and the control of laser hazards. The final session deals with medical surveillance of laser personnel. The Series is of value to both military and civilian personnel involved with safety, whether they are concerned with land, sea or airborne laser systems. (GRA)
