UV hazard awareness training for employees
Designed to meet the training requirements under workplace regulations
Many cases of exposure occur through a lack of information and training. By providing employees working with or around UV light sources with specific information and training, not only does it reduce the chances of incidents but also meets your legal obligations.
Bespoke training, tailored to your organisation
UK regulations require that workers using or working near UV equipment receive hazard awareness training specific to their process and equipment.

Entitlement to health surveillance and medical examination
Control measures in place to protect and prevent harm

Tailored to your UV equipment and process

Live, instructor-led training
Training is delivered live by an experienced UV specialist, giving delegates the opportunity to ask questions, discuss workplace scenarios, and gain a clear understanding of UV hazards and safe working practices.
Meet your training requirements
The course is designed to help employers provide the information, instruction and training required under EU Directive 2006/25/EC and CAOD10. It gives employees the knowledge they need to work safely with ultraviolet radiation and understand the risks involved.
Practical, workplace focused
Rather than focusing solely on legislation, the course explains how UV hazards arise in real workplaces and the practical steps needed to reduce risk. Delegates leave with knowledge they can apply immediately.
Suitable for all staff
The training is suitable for anyone who works with or around ultraviolet radiation, regardless of previous experience. Content is presented in a clear, accessible way for both technical and non-technical audiences.
Onsite or online delivery
Sessions can be delivered live online or at your premises, making it easy to train individuals, small teams, or larger groups while minimising disruption to your operations.
Delivered by UV specialists
With more than 20 years of experience in ultraviolet safety, risk assessment and training, the course is delivered by an expert who understands both the technical and practical aspects of working safely with UV radiation.
