Before implementing laser services into private practice, you should consider a few things.
Are you OSHA compliant?
Do you have a laser safety plan in place?
Has the physician/employer appointed a medical laser safety officer?
Have your laser technicians been legally trained and certified?
Does your practice staff know and understand laser safety rules?
If you answered NO to any of the above questions, then your practice as well as laser practitioners, are in violation of federal law and possible state law, therefore increasing liability as well as endangering the client.
Federal Law
The Federal OSHA Law “Incorporates by Reference” the ANSI Standards which have thus become an integral part of the Federal OSHA Law itself. As such, they are enforceable by OSHA according to Federal Law and further, they support the filing of Civil Malpractice Litigation.
OSHA can levy large fines against those who violate or are not in compliance with the ANSI standards. Further, the Courts can and have awarded large sums as damages for violation of the OSHA/ANSI Law and Standards.
In order to be compliant with national standards, the American National Standards Institute (A.N.S.I.) Z136.3 Standard "Safe Use of Lasers in Healthcare", EVERY FACILITY that uses a medical or aesthetic laser MUST ESTABLISH a formal Laser Safety Program that is managed by an appointed Medical Laser Safety Officer.
An appointed Medical Laser Safety Officer is required by OSHA with usage of high powered lasers and can be considered legally compliant wherever there is a healthcare facility with laser operation.
Medical Laser Safety Officer Program
The laser training program offered through the International Academy of Cosmetic Laser Surgery, meets the prerequisite requirement of the Board of Laser Safety for the Certified Medical Laser Safety Officer exam as well as details aesthetic laser physics, types of lasers and laser applications in dermatology. The course furthers discussion on cutaneous physiology, ethnicity and intense pulsed light, and gives the practitioner the knowledge necessary to practice laser safety as well as practicing applications for optimal clinical outcomes.
As a Medical Laser Safety Officer, professionals can advance their career into the medical field working within various healthcare facilities such as:

Aesthetic Lasers and IPL in Dermatology If you’re hesitating or second guessing taking the Aesthetic Laser & IPL Training, DON’T! I really enjoyed this training, Linda is a wealth of knowledge and you will learn a lot in this class. Because of her experience, she also provides tips about other treatments that can be used in addition to Laser/IPL which I loved. Taking this training empowered me and I know it will do the same for you. I’m looking forward to taking more of her classes because I know it’s going to enhance my knowledge and separate me from others!

I am absolutely blown away by the way Linda explained all this very advanced material in small pieces so that the student will have a thorough understanding of the material. I have learned so much about lasers and how genetics and ethnicity help to determine laser parameter settings. She is phenomenal in her teaching skills and abilities. I strongly recommend her 100% for all of your continued educational needs.
