What is the primary responsibility of a Laser Safety Officer (LSO)?

The primary responsibility of a Laser Safety Officer (LSO) is to manage safety procedures and signage. This role is crucial in ensuring that all laser operations are conducted in a safe manner, protecting both the patients and the staff from potential hazards associated with laser use. The LSO is tasked with monitoring compliance with safety standards, conducting training sessions, and regularly reviewing protocols to minimize risks. By overseeing these elements, the LSO plays a vital role in maintaining a safe environment in which laser hair removal treatments can be effectively and safely performed.

The other roles mentioned, such as performing hair removal treatments, operating the laser during sessions, or educating clients about laser hair removal, are important aspects of the overall process, but they do not encompass the specific safety management focus that defines the responsibilities of an LSO.
