Seminar: “Laser Safety Officer for Technical Applications”
Thank you for your interest in our seminar.
This seminar is only offered in German in Fürth. However, if you are looking for an English-language seminar to qualify as a laser safety officer, we recommend our Laser Safety Officer course.
Do you work with Class 3R, 3B or 4 laser equipment? If so, you will be aware of the importance of having a qualified person serve as a laser safety officer (LSO). According to Section 5 of the Occupational Safety and Health Ordinance (OStrV), proof of completion of a specialised training course must be provided.
Our seminar, 'Laser Safety Officer for Technical Applications', provides exactly that! Earn an accredited certificate and gain the knowledge and skills necessary to ensure a safe work environment when working with lasers.
Mix and match—and save!
Sign up for our course “Laser Safety Officer for Technical Applications” in combination with our internship and take advantage of an attractive discount. This combination offers you comprehensive training that perfectly blends theory and practice.
