Our scientists are planning on doing a project with regards to dust and the effect it has on some of our delicate documents and as such intend to use UV lamps to search for and photograph dust particles which would normally be invisible to the naked eye. The UV lamps will be lit whilst they are setting up and they will be exposed to the light during this aspect. I know that I have to do a risk assessment and I know that I have to have regard to the exposure limits. I know about the need for covering exposed skin and protecting eyes but they will be handling delicate documents which could be damaged even if they wear cotton gloves during their work. How do I best protect these people from the exposure to UV? All ideas gratefully received. Graham
