The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is an organization comprising several committees of expert volunteers who have traditionally determined the industry consensus standards in various fields. The existing federal legislation and the suggested state laser-safety regulation are based on the 1980 ANSI Standard, "For the Safe Use of Lasers." It was quickly recognized that the safety needs of the industrial and medical environments differed sufficiently to prompt the American National Standards Institute to form a committee to write a new set of standards for "Laser Safety in the Health Care Environment" (ANSI Z 136.3). This standard will apply not only to hospitals but also to offices, clinics, and anywhere else that the laser is used for medical purposes. This paper will outline this important laser-safety standard and describe in detail how best to implement it in the environment in which the otolaryngologist--head and neck surgeon practices.
美国国家标准学会（ANSI）是一个由多个专家志愿者委员会组成的组织，这些志愿者传统上决定了各个领域的行业共识标准。现有的联邦立法和建议的州激光安全法规均基于1980年的ANSI标准《激光安全使用》。人们很快认识到，工业和医疗环境的安全需求差异很大，促使美国国家标准学会成立了一个委员会，编写一套新的《医疗保健环境中的激光安全》标准（ANSI Z 136.3）。该标准不仅适用于医院，还适用于办公室、诊所以及任何使用激光进行医疗目的的其他场所。本文将概述这一重要的激光安全标准，并详细描述在耳鼻喉科——头颈外科医生执业的环境中如何最好地实施该标准。
