Laser Protection
Advisory Services
Users of Class 3B lasers (with certain exceptions), Class 4
lasers and intense pulsed light (IPL) sources in the private and voluntary
healthcare sectors are r required to appoint a Laser Protection Adviser (LPA).
Department of Health guidance recommends that an LPA should be appointed for
installations, including NHS Trusts, where these classes of lasers are
operated. RPC can provide laser and IPL protection advisory services, drawing

for the use of each laser.
