Safety Guidelines
Exposure to ultraviolet light is dangerous, both direct and reflected. UV can produce eye
injuries and skin erythema. These effects are considered transient. UV may also be
carcinogenic but since it has very limited penetrating ability it is unlikely to cause damage to
anything besides outer layers of skin or other exposed surfaces.
The Energenics UV-MAX is designed for zero user exposure to UV; however, we will review
safety factors regarding UV for better knowledge and understanding.
Protective Clothing and Eyewear
It is not recommended that any personnel be subject to direct UV exposure. In the event such
exposure is probable, personnel should wear PPE providing full coverage of exposed skin and
appropriate eye protection.
UV safety glasses designed to filter UV-C and those of the wrap-around type are
recommended. Be aware, not all glasses offer complete coverage or UV-C filtering.
OSHA Guidelines for Ultraviolet Exposure
OSHA provides technical guidance regarding protecting employees from ultraviolet light with
respect to laser hazards. You can find this guidance in the (
OSHA Technical Manual (TED 1-
0.15A, Section III
– Chapter 6)). The relevant chapter includes information on control
measures and safety programs for laser hazards associated with exposure to UV. This is the
best documented guideline available.
NIOSH Limits
The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) provide a recommended
exposure level (REL) for UVGI at 6 mJ/cm2 (or 0.006 J/cm2).
