about the bls
The Board of Laser Safety (BLS) was incorporated in September 2002 as
a nonprofit organization affiliated with the Laser Institute of America
(LIA), a California nonprofit corporation.
The mission of the BLS is to provide a means for improvement in the practice
of laser safety by providing opportunities for the education, assessment,
and recognition of laser safety professionals.
(1) offering examinations to individuals
who have met the qualifications of education and experience;
(2) acknowledging individuals who have passed the examination
by issuing a certificate and allowing them to use the title of
"Certified Laser Safety Officer" or "Certified
Medical Laser Safety Officer" and the CLSO or CMLSO acronym
after their name;
(3) requiring each CLSO/CMLSO to maintain their certification
by obtaining certification maintenance points in laser safety;
and
(4) maintaining and publishing a roster of CLSO's and CMLSO's
for public knowledge.
All applications for CLSO/CMLSO submitted to the BLS are reviewed
without consideration of age, sex, religion, race, disability
or national origin. BLS reserves the right to revise, update,
and amend its applications, examinations, policies, and other
material related to the certification program at any time.
