About Us

Bioptica are leading specialists in laser safety.

We provide independent and cost-effective services in laser safety covering industry, telecommunications, the medical & cosmetic sectors, research & development, and in all other areas where lasers are used.

We offer comprehensive support, practical advice and high-quality training to users of laser equipment and to manufacturers of laser products.

We carry out safety audits, risk assessments and policy reviews.

We help those who work with lasers to understand the hazards and to implement appropriate safety controls and procedures.

We help manufacturers of laser products to classify their products and to comply with international safety requirements.

In addition to lasers, we can also advise on more general issues of light safety, covering high-brightness lamps and other sources of optical radiation. We can assess the hazards, give advice on safety, and determine the protective measures that may be needed.

We are based in Cambridge, UK, and have been providing extensive consultancy and training services in laser safety since 1990, helping a wide range of businesses and public-sector organisations throughout the UK and Ireland, as well as serving clients in mainland Europe and the USA.
