Which of the following is NOT a type of laser listed for inventory in a command’s Laser Safety Program?

Class I lasers are generally considered safe under all conditions of normal use and do not require special safety precautions. These lasers have an output that is low enough to be safe for human exposure. Thus, they do not necessitate the same level of oversight and inventory management as higher-class lasers, which can pose significant health risks if not handled properly.

In contrast, Commercial class IIIb lasers, Class IV military lasers, and Military exempt lasers fall into categories that include more stringent safety measures due to their potential hazards. Class IIIb lasers can cause eye damage with direct exposure, while Class IV lasers are capable of causing serious injury and therefore require comprehensive safety protocols. Military exempt lasers are also recognized as needing particular attention under the Laser Safety Program, ensuring they are managed appropriately relative to their risks.

This distinction underscores why Class I lasers would not typically be included in the inventory of a command's Laser Safety Program, as they do not present the same level of risk as the other listed laser types.
