The passages provided reference MIL-HDBK-828 as a document governing laser safety procedures (including laser range restrictions, emergency response, and specular reflector removal [AFMAN 13-212V1 para 4.16.8.4]), but they do not contain the actual content or requirements of MIL-HDBK-828 itself. To answer questions about MIL-HDBK-828's specific requirements, you must consult the handbook directly at https://assist.dla.mil or through authorized DoD channels.

e Installation Laser Range Authority, or with any person involved with the laser operations. Ensure lasing does not resume until communications are re-established. p. Ensure all lasers are safe prior to departing the laser training area using all available measures that could allow the laser to be activated accidentally. q. Review MIL-HDBK-828 for comprehensive understanding of laser use on outdoor ranges. r. Ensure personnel are knowledgeable of all laser range restrictions and laser operations on the range. s. Ensure personnel are briefed on emergency response actions for lasers, including the emergency response hotline 24 hours per day (1-800-473-3549 Laser Safety Event Hotline).

the entire DoD laser safety community in a new consensus building activity with the necessary verification and validation of any standards and models established. This will include the LSRCs across the MILDEP. The subsequent development and validation of the physics-based tools for combining the risk of harm models with the characteristics of the lasing environment will likely involve the LSRRAs as well as direct range input. Much in the way the MIL-HDBK 828 is a product of the DoD LSSWG as part of the Defense Safety Oversight Council (DSOC) governance structure, it would be reasonable to expect that any such PRA capability will also be guided by this working group and governance structure to ensure consistency across DoD. c. In addition to DoD, NATO has also been working on this problem.
