RLI routinely conducts training courses at the client's location. Our courses can be tailored to the specific requirements of applications at your facility. Emphasis can be centered on what's important to you, including reviews of the federal, state and local regulations applicable to your site.
RLI can provide courses in various durations. For example, RLI provides a standard one-half day Basic Laser Safety program which covers the protection of workers, and inspection (where applicable) of areas where lasers are installed and tested.
