Laser Safety Training

Before starting any Physics 111 Advanced Lab experiment involving laser use, students must complete laser safety training, including reading training materials, viewing a safety video, taking a written quiz, and completing the Laser Safety Training Certification. Complete ALL the steps below and turn them into the 111-Lab Staff:

1. View the Physics 111 Laser Safety Video. 
2. Fill out the EH&S Laser Safety form. Turn this in with the last page of the online quiz (see below). The information required to complete this form can be found in the following link: Laser Use Registration (LUR) list for 111-Lab.
3. Read the Laser Safety Manual.
4. Read the Laser Safety Fact Sheet.
5. Read the sections of the lab write-up concerning apparatus, procedures, and laser safety precautions specific to the experiment you are about to do.
6. Go to the online Laser Safety Quiz located on the UC Learning Center site.
