When personnel may be exposed to potentially hazardous amounts and wavelengths of UV rays, it is essential to take the necessary steps to protect them. Environmental Health & Safety can help measure UV emissions and evaluate the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure it provides adequate protection against UV rays. If there is a possibility that the eyes and face may be exposed to UV radiation, a polycarbonate face protector with ANSI Z87.1-1989 UV certification should be used to protect the eyes and face. Regular prescription eyeglasses may not block UV radiation, so it is important to use eye protection that blocks UV rays when using UV light curing systems.
Clear and tinted eye protectors that block UV rays are available. Glasses with lens material to block UVC light (254 nm) and protect the eyes from exposure can be worn over prescription glasses. UV-Guard supplies complete treatment systems, spare parts for all brands of UV rays, and a qualified maintenance service for UV systems.
