Achieve Educational Excellence

Narran Australia has partnered with Ed Virtus to provide our laser safety courses with appropriate levels of understanding of the principles of laser safety practice to meet the needs of Australian/International standards for laser safety officers, laser safety supervisors, and laser operators and maintainers. We recommend our clients to register to the next available course prior to delivery of your Laser Cleaning  Machine.

The AS/NZS IEC 60825.1 and the AS/NZS IEC 60825.14 define a Laser Safety Officer as one who is competent in the evaluation and control of laser hazards and has responsibility for oversight of the control of laser hazards. The Standards identify the need for persons competent in laser safety within an organisation and identify a skill set for a laser safety officer but flexibility relating to different competency levels within an organisation is retained.
