If your employees work with direct germicidal UV equipment, or are in close proximity to it on a daily basis, you may be concerned that they are getting too much UV-C exposure. While they should always wear personal protective gear (a UV-blocking face shield, gloves, and long sleeves to prevent exposed skin), there is more that can be done. Personal UV-C exposure indicators give added peace of mind that your employees are not exceeding the daily UV-C exposure limit.
Get a Visual of Too Much UV-C Exposure
According to the American Conference of Government Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH), the daily exposure limit for UV-C is 6 mJ/cm2. These personal UV-C exposure indicators change color to reveal the word “STOP” if personnel are exposed to an accumulated UV-C dose exceeding this limit. Their adhesive backing sticks to clothing, an ID badge, or PPE.
Note: This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Always follow best practices of wearing appropriate personal protective equipment and adhere to safety guidelines when operating or working near UV-C equipment. Prolonged, direct exposure to UV-C can result in erythema and photokeratitis and should be avoided.
How to Use Personal UV-C Exposure Indicators
Personal UV-C exposure indicators are designed for individuals who work in close proximity to direct UV-C devices emitting 254 nm (such as commercial disinfection workers in HVAC, retail, transportation, and healthcare). They can be worn on an ID badge or uniform garment. Each indicator is designed for single, daily use and CANNOT be reused. Use indoors and DO NOT expose them to direct sunlight.
Use these indicators with our direct germicidal UV fixtures:
