Ken,
The place I would look is 21 CFR Parts 1000 to 1040.
For further information, the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services, Food and Drug Administration, Center for Devices and
Radiological Health might be of help.
They can be reached at : Light Products Branch (HFZ-312)
Office of Compliance and Surveillance
Center for Devices and Radiological Health,
Food and Drug Administration
1390 Piccard Dr.
Rockville, MD 20850,
(301)-427-1172

I have been researching OSHA Laser Safety Requirements as they pertain
to servicing of laser products. I reviewed OSHA PUB 8.1-7: Guidelines
for Laser Safety and Hazard Assessment, but I have not been able to
find specific references in the CFR. I also have a copy of ANSI
Z136.1.
Where, if at all, is the OSHA PUB 8.1-7 referenced in the CFR?
I am looking for the regulations (not guidelines) that mandate the
following:
1) Laser Safety Training
2) Assignment of a LSO
3) Medical Surveillance (optometrist / ophthalmologist)
I would greatly appreciate any information regarding this issue.
Thanks in advance.
