Statement of Affirmation to Safe Laser Shows and the ILDA Code of Ethics For Members who ARE doing shows
LASER SHOW SAFETY
	I have read, and I understand and acknowledge, the Laser Show Safety Basic Principles document detailed on this webpage and summarized below: As a laser operator and/or producer of laser light shows, I understand and acknowledge the following: 1. Above any other considerations, a laser show must be safe. This means it must not cause injury (harmful changes) to eyes or skin, potential burn hazards, or non-laser (electrical, mechanical) hazards. 2. I understand that I am ultimately responsible for the laser show�s safely. 3. I will not present a show which is hazardous (potentially unsafe), or change or modify a safe show so that it becomes hazardous. 4. I will not allow others to override safety considerations, such as show producers or clients. 5. My shows will be continuously monitored by so that hazardous conditions can be detected if they occur. In such a case, the condition will be corrected or the laser emission will be immediately terminated (within a few seconds). 6. Laser safety standards and guidelines should be followed at all times, including during setup/installation. 7. I will use backup methods to ensure that if beams do not hit a target, they will not pose a hazard. 8. I understand that audience scanning requires the highest level of laser safety knowledge, and requires the most care in design, setup and operation. 9. I understand that pulsed lasers should never be used for audience scanning; this includes Q-switched Nd:YAG and Copper Vapor lasers (including Copper Bromide). 10. If I do not understand the above-referenced standards (e.g., ANSI and/or IEC), or if I do not have the equipment and procedures to ensure the safety of the audience, I will not do audience scanning. 11. When doing outdoor shows, I will not illuminate aircraft to cause distraction, veiling glare, or temporary flashblindness of pilots.
	I specifically understand and acknowledge that pulsed lasers such as Q-switched Nd:YAG and and Copper Vapor lasers (including Copper Bromide) should, in general, never be used for audience scanning.

ILDA CODE OF ETHICS
	I understand that ILDA Members agree to abide by the Code of Ethics, as a requirement of Membership.
	I have read, and I understand and acknowledge, the Code of Ethics detailed on this webpage and summarized below: -- Members desire to promote cooperative, responsible and ethical application of laser display. -- Members agree to conduct their business in a professional, ethical, safe and courteous manner, and to make a good faith effort to resolve any and all complaints made against them. -- Members agree to respect the goals, desires and objectives of their clients. -- Members agree to observe and obey any and all regulations governing the use of lasers in any country or area in which the member operates. -- No member will knowingly take or receive credit for work done by another member or, through inaction, knowingly allow an incorrect credit to persist. -- Members agree not to make inaccurate or misleading claims in advertising and/or promotion. -- No member will knowingly make inaccurate or slanderous statements about any competitor or through silence lend credibility to statements made by others. -- Members will not misrepresent their capabilities or the capabilities of the medium in general. -- Members agree to keep privileged information obtained by reason of their position in ILDA confidential.
	I specifically understand and acknowledge these two statements from the Code of Ethics: "Members agree to observe and obey any and all regulations governing the use of lasers in any country or area in which the member operates." "Members agree to conduct their business in a professional, ethical, safe and courteous manner... "
