UV Safety in the Workplace

If you are looking for support around safety of a new or existing UV process, you’re in the right place.

We help organisations ensure effective performance, safe use and regulatory compliance with their legal obligations under the Control of Artificial Optical Radiation at Work Regulations 2010 through a range of training courses and site services.

If your organisation operates artificial UV inspection, disinfection or curing equipment, you are required by law to:

• Reduce personal exposure as low as reasonably practicable;
• Assess personal exposure and compare to statutory limits; and
• Provide workers with specific information and training.

Failing to do so not only puts workers at risk of the acute and chronic health effects associated with exposure to UV light but also constitutes a regulatory offence.

Our free UV safety guide provides an introduction to the requirements relating to UV inspection, disinfection and curing processes in the workplace.

And whether your are already using UV, or looking to introduce a new process, we can help you:

• Understand the adverse health effects associated with UV light.
• Ensure the statutory exposure limit values are not exceeded.
• Be prepared if queried by authorities around workplace exposure.
• Ensure safe use and regulatory compliance under UK law.
• Achieve peace of mind you have UV safety covered.
