Luc, what does being a CoNSOL-accredited laser safety trainer mean to you?
“This label represents genuine professional recognition. It has allowed me to join a circle of experts in lasers and laser safety, which is a real asset for continuous improvement. Thanks to this certification, I deliver advanced laser safety training courses such as those for Persons Exposed to Laser Risks (PERL) and Persons Competent in Laser Safety (PCSL). It is a key step in my career and a personal driving force that fuels my passion and curiosity for this discipline.”
What does the CoNSOL label guarantee to trainees attending your laser safety training courses?
“It ensures that the teaching content is validated by French laser safety experts, in line with the official CoNSOL recommendations. Our laser safety training courses are designed to be both rigorous and accessible, combining effectiveness with engaging teaching.”
How do Laser Academy by IREPA LASER’s laser safety training courses stand out on the market?
“Laser Academy draws on more than 40 years of expertise in laser processes and associated laser safety . We offer more than theory: our modules include extensive lessons learned from real industrial cases. This enables learners to acquire practical laser safety know-how that they can apply immediately.”
Why is laser safety such a major issue today?
“Lasers have become ubiquitous, whether in industry, research, entertainment or even certain consumer applications. Yet their power and their risks are not always well understood. Solid training is essential to prevent accidents and ensure the responsible and safe use of this technology.”
What motivates you most in your role as a laser safety trainer?
“Many people see laser safety as a technical and restrictive subject, even a boring one. My aim is precisely to reveal the richness and importance of this field, sparking trainees’ curiosity and showing them just how fascinating and essential it is.”
One last piece of advice for those still hesitating to train seriously in laser safety?
“It is not a formality: it is an obligation that protects against major risks. If laser safety training were not important, it would not be so strictly regulated and accredited. I strongly recommend that all professionals concerned invest time in it.”
