With expanding numbers of laser applications, there is greater potential for laser radiation exposures. Proper surveillance and evaluation of laser incidents can lead to better injury prevention and more efficient medical treatment. Current laser incident databases do not provide sufficient information for surveillance and analysis of laser trends. A laser incident reporting form (LIRF) was created for U.S. Air Force applications by using the Delphi technique. To create the LIRF, four expert panels were formed by 40 health and safety professionals experienced with laser systems and medical evaluation of laser incidents. After three rounds of surveys, the final LIRF contained 100 data collection fields identifying the most valuable items for injury trend analysis. Although the LIRF was initially developed to collect USAF laser incident information, it could potentially act as the cornerstone for a new system serving the entire military system.
随着激光应用数量的不断增加,激光辐射暴露的可能性也更大。对激光事故进行适当的监测和评估可以更好地预防伤害并提高医疗效率。当前的激光事故数据库没有为监测和分析激光趋势提供足够的信息。通过德尔菲技术为美国空军应用创建了一份激光事故报告表(LIRF)。为了创建LIRF,由40名在激光系统和激光事故医学评估方面经验丰富的健康与安全专业人员组成了四个专家小组。经过三轮调查,最终的LIRF包含100个数据收集字段,用于确定伤害趋势分析中最有价值的项目。尽管LIRF最初是为收集美国空军激光事故信息而开发的,但它有可能成为服务于整个军事系统的新系统的基石。
