Conflict of Interest Declaration

Laser Safety Compliance Australia (LSCA) and Laser & IPL Safety Supplies are both owned and operated by Oliver Ried.

  • Laser Safety Compliance Australia (LSCA) provides laser and IPL safety guidance, resources, and training.

  • Laser & IPL Safety Supplies (lasersafetysupplies.com.au) supplies laser and IPL safety eyewear, signage, and related safety products.

Because both businesses are operated by the same owner, a potential conflict of interest exists. Specifically, recommendations or guidance provided through LSCA could be perceived as influencing the purchase of products supplied by Laser & IPL Safety Supplies.

LSCA is committed to transparency and takes the following steps to manage this potential conflict.

How We Manage It

  1. LSCA does not endorse or recommend specific products, brands, or suppliers unless explicitly stated.

  2. LSCA's guidance focuses on compliance and performance requirements rather than purchasing decisions. For example, where laser safety eyewear is discussed, LSCA explains the relevant wavelength coverage, protection levels, standards, markings, and selection criteria required for a particular application. This information can be used to assess products from any supplier.

  3. Clients and website users are under no obligation to purchase products from Laser & IPL Safety Supplies. Equivalent or suitable products may be available from other suppliers.

  4. Training content, assessment outcomes, and safety guidance are not influenced by whether a person or organisation purchases products from Laser & IPL Safety Supplies.

  5. Where LSCA links to Laser & IPL Safety Supplies, the shared ownership of the two businesses is disclosed.

  6. Any commercial relationship that may be relevant to the subject matter of LSCA's guidance will be disclosed where appropriate.
