Exposure to ultra-violet radiation (referred to from now on as UV radiation) without proper O.5.1.2 protection can be hazardous, with risks of sunburn, damage to the eyes and several types of skin cancer. This section explains what UV radiation is and how to protect against it in a working environment. It gives information on the UV index, Sun Protection Factors (SPFs), the UVA Protection Grade (PA) or UVA Protection Factor (UVA-PF) and the UVA star rating. Information and advice is given on sunscreens and protective clothing, plus some additional advice for both rope access technicians and their employers.
