Superconducting Magnets: Basic Safety
There are a number of basic safety considerations for personnel using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and other superconducting magnetic equipment,
Safe Handling of Cryogenic Substances
A superconducting magnet uses two types of cryogens (liquid helium and liquid nitrogen). Cryogenic liquids can be handled easily and safely, provided certain precautions are followed as outlined in these instructions.
Radio Frequency Safety Exposure Categorization
Radio Frequency Safety Exposure Categorization describes control measures and required signage for four categories of exposure to radiofrequencies.
Ultraviolet (UV) Safety
The Ultraviolet (UV) Safety guidance covers UV devices generally found in research laboratory, hazards, safety precautions and recommended controls, including PPE, and warning signs and labels..
Non-Ionizing Radiation Safety Manual
Laser Safety Procedure Template
The Laser Safety Procedure addresses alignments, maintenance and normal operations procedures; all hazards; types of PPE; and emergency procedures associated with the particular laser system.
Visit the Laser Safety page for more information.
Laser Transfer and Disposal Guideline
Laser Pointer Safety
A laser pointer contains a small diode laser that emits an intense beam of light often used for directing attention during a presentation. Follow these safety considerations when using a laser pointer.
Laser Alignment Guidelines
The Laser Alignment Guidelines provides guidance for developing specific alignment procedures for a Class 3B or Class 4 laser system.
