Laser/IPL risk assessments and documented hazard controls are a requirement of the Health and Safety Legislation (Artificial Optical Radiation Directive, SI 176 2010).
The risk assessment is an in depth evaluation into each scenario in which your laser or IPL is used which, could result in an incident or injury. Your laser/IPL risk assessment will identify the hazard controls you need for a safe and compliant service. If your laser or IPL is already in service we will evaluate your current hazard controls. If you are in the process of purchasing or have purchased a new laser or IPL we can carry out this risk assessment before it goes into service, ensuring that you have the right hazard controls in place. As ultimate responsibility for all safety controls remains with you as an employer, this process includes a comprehensive review with you and your employees to ensure that the hazard controls are appropriate for your service. The hazard controls identified in the risk assessment are documented in your ‘Local Rules’. The laser/IPL safety procedures documented in the ‘Local Rules’ ensure that everyone in the Laser Controlled Area is safe, including your clients or patients, and documented hazard control are also a requirement of the Health and Safety Legislation.
Services can be provided on a short specific term contract or annual Laser Protection Adviser services contract. Give yourself piece of mind knowing that your business is compliant, contact us to book a free consultation.
