Selling your old photo equipment online can be a hassle. We've gotten rid of the risk and made it so you don't have to worry about a thing.

The University’s Radiation Safety Office coordinates laser safety program development in conjunction with the Principal Investigator (PI) and research staff where Class 3B and 4 lasers are utilized. Should you need to purchase equipment containing a Class 3B or 4 laser, have any questions pertaining to the use of lasers, need to deactivate equipment containing an Class 3B or 4 laser, or have general questions regarding laser devices, please contact the Radiation Safety Office at 803-777-2841 or 803-777-7530.

The University possesses many Class 3B and 4 lasers for research and development purposes. Procedures must be in place and in conformance with the American National Standards for the Safe Use of Lasers in Research, Development, or Testing (ANSI Z136.8). All operators of Class 3B and 4 lasers must be trained.

All lasers used on University property must have the hazard class label clearly legible on the device. The laser hazard classes and their meaning are below:

The properties of coherence makes lasers hazardous even at very low powers. Some lasers operating at a power of just a few milliWatts (mW) or less can cause instantaneous damage to the eye and/or skin if exposed. Because laser light is monochromatic and coherent, the distances with which lasers can be hazardous are quite long; typically miles long.

Lasers generate coherent, monochromatic light in many wavelengths, both visible and invisible, depending on the type of laser. The property of coherence makes lasers very different than typical light sources; and very hazardous to the eyes and/or skin.
