LASERS
Lasers may contain hazardous materials such as a compressed gas or dye. The department should disconnect the compressed gas cylinder and remove the dye prior to shipping or transferring the laser. Hazardous materials must be properly managed as waste and not placed in the trash, poured down the drain, or released into the atmosphere. See 5.66 regarding disposal of hazardous waste.
See 4.50 for further information regarding lasers.

Prior to shipment or transfer of a laser, the department must:
- Disable the laser;
- Remove hazardous materials from the laser; and
- Ensure that the classification label (i.e., Class II, Class IIIA, Class IIIB, or Class IV) is intact.
- Attach a completed Item Evaluation form listing the presence and location of any hazardous materials or components.
To obtain copies of the evaluation form, complete and/or print the PDF master on 20.77.4.
