Our UV health and safety products are designed to help employers meet their legal obligations for the safe use of UV light equipment in the workplace under The Control of Artificial Optical Radiation at Work Regulations 2010. These brought into law in Great Britain on 27th April 2010 the European Physical Agents (Artificial Optical Radiation 2006/25/EC) Directive.

The Regulations define the following:

  • Statutory UV light exposure limit values (ELVs)
  • Minimum health and safety requirements for protection of workers from risks arising or likely to arise from artificial UV light exposure
  • Employers must determine personal UV light exposure levels and compare with the ELVs as a means of assessing risk and necessary controls
  • Workers should not be exposed above the ELVs and must be provided with specific information and training

To make sure your company complies and gain the confidence and acceptance of the work force - follow our:
