Laser Safety Program
Laser and laser systems present a potential safety hazard to students, staff, and faculty if the device is not used and/or stored properly. The primary purpose of The Ohio State University Laser Safety Program is to ensure that no laser radiation in excess of the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) limit reaches the human eye or skin. In addition, the program is designed to ensure adequate protection against non-beam (collateral) hazards that can be associated with lasers.

Permits for the Use of Radioactive Materials
To obtain authorization for the use of radioactive materials from the University Radiation Safety Committee (URSC), an RS-1 form, Permit For The Use of Radioactive Materials, must be completed. This form, and others that may be required, are available from the EHS web site, www.ehs.ohio- state.edu. This permit must undergo a pre-review by Radiation Safety prior to final submission to the URSC. The Approved Supervisor will receive written notification of the permit’s status after URSC review.
