Ultraviolet rays

This involves the employment of appropriate protective devices, both environmental (source shielding) and personal (suitable glasses, gloves and clothing).
The ACGIH (American Conference Governmental Industrial Hygienist) establishes that a total irradiation in the UV-A of less than 10 W/m² and an effective irradiation in the UV-B and UV-C of less than 1mW/m² do not entail an occupational risk from ultraviolet rays as long as short term effects are concerned.
Furthermore, it would be useful to avoid exposure in those subjects who are more susceptible to ultraviolet rays for congenital or acquired defects (albinism, porphyria) or who are affected by relapsing ocular problems or chronic cutaneous lesions.
