What we do
Safety & Compliance
Laser safety, program development, and documentation that holds up under audit. Technical work for organizations where getting it wrong has consequences.
When people call us about this
This is specialised work, and it is not the hard-hats-and-caution-tape end of safety. It is the part where a standard applies, a regulator may ask, and the answer has to be written down and correct.
- There is a laser safety officer on paper and no program behind the title.
- The safety documentation was written for a facility that has since changed.
- Training is happening and nothing records who was trained, on what, when.
- An audit is coming and the last policy revision is undated.
- Classification, controls and signage do not match what is actually in the room.
- The people doing the work have real expertise and no framework holding it together.
What we provide
- Laser safety programs and laser safety officer training
- Hazard analysis and control measure design
- Safety program development and assessment
- Standard operating procedures
- Compliance documentation and record systems
- Policy development
- Training tied to specific regulatory or standards requirements
- Program audits and gap analysis against the applicable standard
- Risk reduction planning
Typical situations
A research facility with several Class 4 systems, a competent staff and no written control measures — everything worked because the people were careful, which is not a program.
A manufacturer whose laser safety documentation described equipment that had been replaced two years earlier.
An organization that needed its safety training to be defensible, not just delivered, and had no record structure to make it so.
How the work runs
We assess against the standard that actually applies to you, in your facility, with your equipment. That produces a gap analysis you can read — not a compliance matrix nobody opens.
Then we write the program: classification, controls, procedures, training requirements and the records that prove it happened. Then we train the people who have to run it, because a safety program nobody was trained on is documentation, not safety.
What you end up with
- A written program that matches the facility as it is now
- Controls documented with the reasoning behind them
- Training delivered and recorded in a form that survives scrutiny
- A revision process, so the program does not drift out of date again
- Someone internal who understands it well enough to own it
