Artificial UV Radiation: A Workplace Hazard
Ultraviolet radiation is a known occupational health hazard.
Unlike many other risks, UV radiation is often invisible, and harmful exposure can occur without warning or immediate symptoms.
UV sources are commonly used in:
- Fluorescent inspection and non-destructive testing
- UV disinfection and germicidal systems
- UV curing in manufacturing and printing
- Laboratory and research environments
- Medical, pharmaceutical and cleanroom processes
Without appropriate controls, some processes can expose workers to levels of UV radiation capable of causing injury within seconds.
For others, the risk is from repeated exposure for which symptoms may not become apparent for many years.
