UV-C lamps: pay attention to their correct use
Short wavelength UV light is dangerous for humans. In addition to sunburn, this light can produce inflammation of the cornea and retina of the eye. Without forgetting that ultraviolet radiation, in all its UV-A, UV-B and UV-C components, is classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in Group 1 of agents that are certainly carcinogenic to humans. For this reason, the use of UV rays in working environments should always respect some essential conditions:

• use in the absence of people and in ventilated environments with air recirculation
• use of adequate skin and eye protection
• do not look directly into the UV light
• Do not stay or work in the environment where UV light is operating
• use safety microswitches that turn off the lights when doors or hatches are accidentally opened
