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.
