Industrial Laser Safety Certification
Industrial Laser Safety Certification is a self-paced online program for technicians and operators who work with or around industrial laser cutters, welders, engravers, cleaners, marking systems, and other industrial laser equipment. Choose a written certification for $69 or a video certification for $99. Both formats address applicable ANSI Z136.1 guidance, cover laser systems through Class 4, and provide a printable certificate after successful completion of the assessment.
The certificate documents completion of LSC certification. Employers remain responsible for equipment- and site-specific instruction, hazard evaluation, controls, PPE, procedures, employee authorization, records, and laser safety program oversight.

FAQs - Industrial Laser Safety Technician Certification
Who should complete industrial laser safety certification?
Personnel who operate, assist with, maintain, service, supervise, or work near industrial laser systems should receive role-appropriate laser safety education based on the equipment, accessible laser class, exposure potential, assigned tasks, and employer procedures. This includes personnel working with laser cutting, welding, engraving, cleaning, marking, ablation, manufacturing, and laboratory systems. OSHA laser safety guidance specifically recommends appropriate laser safety education for personnel working with Class 3B and Class 4 lasers, including operators, maintenance personnel, service personnel, technicians, and technical support staff.
Can industrial laser safety certification be completed online?
Yes. LSC offers self-paced written and video Industrial Laser Safety Certification formats that are completed online. The courses can be accessed using a desktop, tablet, or mobile device.
How much does industrial laser safety certification cost?
The written Industrial Laser Safety Certification is currently $69, and the Industrial Laser Safety Video Certification is $99.
How long does certification take?
Completion time depends on the learner and selected format. Many learners can complete the Industrial Laser Safety Certification the very same day, while the self-paced format allows participants to progress according to their own schedule. LSC’s certification is designed for same-day completion.
What laser classes does the course cover?
The Industrial Laser Safety Certification covers laser systems through Class 4. The level of protection required in the workplace depends on the accessible laser class, equipment configuration, operating conditions, assigned tasks, and site-specific hazard evaluation. Class 3B and Class 4 systems generally require substantially greater controls and oversight than lower-class systems. OSHA’s Laser Hazards guidance provides additional information about laser classifications and associated hazards.
Does laser safety certification authorize someone to operate every laser?
Authorization to operate a laser remains specific to the employer, equipment, application, and workplace procedures. An LSC certificate documents successful completion of the applicable laser safety certification and assessment. Employers remain responsible for providing equipment- and task-specific instruction, establishing procedures and controls, determining personnel authorization, and ensuring workers are qualified for the laser systems they use. OSHA laser safety guidance addresses personnel education and equipment-specific laser hazards.
Is laser welding certification the same as welder qualification?
Laser safety certification and welding-process qualification serve different purposes. LSC’s Industrial Laser Safety Certification addresses laser hazards, PPE, control measures, safe operating practices, and related safety responsibilities for personnel working with laser welding systems. Qualification to perform a welding process or demonstrate that welds meet an applicable welding code, procedure, or quality standard requires the separate qualification process applicable to that welding work.
