Abstract

According to the development of laser technology, applications of laser in medical area, and the resulting risks are increasing. To ensure the safe use of laser, it is necessary to assign a person who has the knowledge of laser safety as MLSO(medical laser safety officer). In many countries, the system of laser safety officer management is operating. MLSO has the responsibilities and duties of the operation of the laser safety program, training, and education. In this study, we analyzed the adoption of MLSO through the investigation of the MLSO management status in United States.

레이저 기술의 발전과 더불어 다양한 의료영역에서 레이저가 사용되고 있으며 그로 인한 위험성도 증가하고 있다. 레이저를 안전하게 사용하기 위해서는 레이저의 안전에 관한 지식을 가지고 관리할 수 있는 사람이 지정될 필요가 있다. 이에 따라 많은 나라에서 레이저안전관리자 체제를 운영하고 있다. 의료레이저안전관리자는 레이저의 안전사용과 관련하여 교육과 훈련 등의 권한과 책임을 가진다. 본 연구에서는 의료레이저안전관리자의 미국의 운영현황을 살펴보고 의료레이저안전관리자의 역할과 국내 도입 방안을 살펴보았다.
