UV Health and Safety Training
UV safety training courses to you ensure safe use of artificial UV light in the workplace and compliance with your legal obligations.
One of the main reasons people are over exposed to UV light in the workplace is a lack of information and training from both manufacturers and suppliers of UV light equipment, but also in house knowledge of UV light, the potential risks, and regulations in place to protect workers.
We offer a range of training courses to help organisations better understand their legal obligations under the Control of Artificial Optical Radiation at Work Regulations 2010, and also to help employees the potential risks and control measures in place to eliminate or reduce the risk.
If you would like to discuss your UV safety training requirements, please contact us and we’d be happy to discuss your UV light process in more detail.
