Precautions
2.1.1
CAUTION:
Dangerous Ultraviolet Radiation
2.1.1.1
Ultraviolet transilluminators are a powerful source of dangerous ultraviolet
radiation. It is VERY IMPORTANT to protect your eyes and skin from exposure.
2.1.1.2 The
UV blocking shield blocks some of the dangerous ultraviolet radiation from
exiting the UV transilluminator, but under no circumstances should the
unprotected eyes or skin be exposed to the radiation. Ultra-Lum UV blocking
covers, UV blocking shields, UV blocking glasses, UV blocking goggles, and UV
blocking full face shields are available which when used in conjunction with long
sleeve shirts or lab coats and gloves should provide adequate protection and
allow safe handling of ultraviolet products without adverse effects. Ensure that
all personnel in the area who are using or observing this equipment are
adequately protected.

shield, as this will cause undesired exposure to dangerous Ultraviolet radiation.
