This program provides the basis for a uniform approach to laser safety throughout the University laboratories, for ensuring the safe use of laser systems, and for ensuring also that no exposure to the human eye or skin in excess of the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits.
KAUST Non-Ionizing Radiation (NIR) Safety program has been developed to protect the research community and the general public and environment, from devices and equipment that produces potentially hazardous levels of NIR, and also to facilitate and ensure the safe use/work around these equipment in KAUST laboratories and classrooms, and to assist with compliance to applicable standards, guidelines and international best practices.
