UV light health and safety training courses
Risk management of UV light exposure in the workplace
One day course aimed at health and safety professionals and those responsible for ensuring the safe use of UV light equipment in the workplace.
Provides a practical insight to risk assessment and control of personal UV light exposure from artificial sources in the workplace.
Operator information and training
Half day course aimed at operators of UV equipment, supervisors and managers.
Designed to help operators safely use UV light equipment for their application and gain their confidence and acceptance.
Our UV health and safety training courses 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
