About the Book

This publication has been written as a practical guide for implementation of the Control of Artificial Optical Radiation at Work Regulations (commonly abbreviated to AOR10) which came into effect to execute the European Artificial Optical Radiation Directive. Its aim is to explain the impact of the regulation to enable employers in the medical sector to manage risks relating to occupational exposure to optical radiation sources and to assist all those with hazard and risk assessment responsibilities. It includes details on the engineering controls, administrative controls and personal protective equipment (PPE) necessary for the employer to determine any required controls that need to be in place where artificial optical radiation is used in the medical sector. It also includes specific advice for sources of Ultraviolet optical radiation commonly encountered in the medical sector. The editors believe that this publication is required to ensure that the employer has all the necessary controls in place to comply with noted regulations to ensure that all employees are protected from the harmful effects of exposure to artificial optical radiation in the medical sector. KEY FEATURES: A guide to ensure the protection of workers from the hazardous effects of artificial optical radiation Requirement for administrative controls including examples Principles of measurement of optical radiation and practical advice on techniques Ultraviolet sources in the healthcare sector and their hazardous assessment Worked examples for sources of a previously unknown hazard Supplementary information on beneficial and harmful effects of light Full review (2021) of the text to ensure up to date references and knowledge
