bright light safety

[megloff11x]

Can anyone reference the appropriate code number for safety requirements around REALLY bright lights, i.e. Lasers and UV curing lamps, where special glasses must be worn and skin covered to avoid blindness and or "sunburn" type injury?

We always interlocked the door to kill the light source and used special curtains before but I haven't set one of these up in a decade.

Thanks.

This is more of a product standard / OSHA issue than it is an installation one.

There is 410.4(E) but that doesn't apply to your situation...

For lasers, try 21 CFR 1040.10. You can find it here.

Hope this helps.

Uv Curing

Uv Curing

UV curing Lamps. Most safety glasses with a polycarbonite lense will protect from A and B wave lengths. I worked around them for 16 plus years and researched what types should be used. Most operators think they must be mirrored or shaded and that isn't true. Now if you are looking directly into the light. a no no then you would need to treat it like a welding activity.
