Optical Radiation Risk Assessment ("AOR 2010")
Under the Control of Artificial Optical Radiation at Work Regulations 2010 a suitable and sufficient risk assessment must be performed. According to Regulation 3, this must include:
measurements or calculations of the levels of optical radiation, if necessary
consideration of the level, wavelength and duration of foreseeable exposure
the exposure limit values
effects of exposure on 'at risk' groups
consideration of photosensitising chemical substances
risk of temporary blinding, explosion or fire
assessment of the alternative equipment
appropriate health surveillance info
manufacturer's information
provision of suitable training and information
