The University of Miami (UM) Office of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) requires all lasers to be registered. This includes lasers that are embedded in instruments and/or have safety interlocks, such as laser cutters and confocal microscopes.
The Florida Department of Health regulations for high-power lasers dictates that class 3B and 4 lasers must be registered with the state. EHS completes registration for these high-powered lasers on behalf of the laser user when you register your laser with EHS.
Registration must be completed at least 30 days before receiving the laser. Additionally, registration is
required whenever the laser is relocated or ownership changes. Registration is also required for loaner
or demonstration lasers.
To register a laser, use the Laser Inventory Form.
