not present, it will NOT be listed. The HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate

risk) section contains specific information on procedures required to control or eliminate

the specific risk associated with the System Hazards. The statement "Establish a Non-

ionizing Radiation Protection Program IAW guidelines provided in this TB" means that

the non-ionizing exposure to personnel can be controlled by administrative/procedural

actions listed at paragraph 5.b. These guidelines are primarily intended for personnel

using the equipment but may include limited guidelines for maintenance personnel. Fi-

nally, an equipment/system REFERENCE is listed, if available.

(2) Laser/Optical Tables. Listed first is the Type Designation/Nomenclature

of the SYSTEM. The SYSTEM DESCRIPTION section contains a brief description of

the system and its subcomponents. The SYSTEM PARAMETERS section contains the

type (i.e. Ruby, Nd:YAG), the operating wavelength, and the output power of the laser.

The SYSTEM HAZARDS section contains the non-ionizing system hazards associated

with each system (i.e., laser classification, hazard distances, ocular injury concerns (use

of protective eyewear), and outdoor range operations). If any given hazard is not pres-

ent, it will NOT be listed. The HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk) section

contains specific information on procedures required to control or eliminate the specific

risk associated with the System Hazards. The statement "Establish a Non-ionizing Radi-
