2.6 Protection from Ultraviolet Radiation
Do not look directly in the high intensity light beam
WARNING : Do not look directly in the light beam. The lamp contained in this product is an intense source of light and heat. One
component of the light emitted from this lamp is ultraviolet light. Potential eye and skin hazards are present when the lamp is
energized due to ultraviolet radiation. Avoid unnecessary exposure. Protect yourself and your employees by making them aware
of the hazards and how to protect themselves. Protecting the skin can be accomplished by wearing tightly woven garments and
gloves. Protecting the eyes from UV can be accomplished by wearing safety glasses that are designed to provide UV protection. In
addition to the UV, the visible light from the lamp is intense and should also be considered when choosing protective eye wear.
Exposure to UV Radiation
Some medications are known to make individuals extra sensitive to UV radiation. The American Conference of Governmental In-
dustrial Hygienists (ACGIH) recommends occupational UV exposure for an-8hour day to be less than 0.1 microwatts per square
centimeters of effective UV radiation. An evaluation of the workplace is advised to assure employees are not exposed to cumulative
radiation levels exceeding these government guidelines.
