UV disinfection is a very effective tool in the fight against airborne bacteria. UV can be applied in three ways:
Directly within the workplace via downwards pointing UV lamp fittings
often called UV downlighters (suitable if staff are not present in the
area being disinfected)
Indirectly within the workplace via upward pointing lamp fittings
(UV uplighters)
Forced air systems i.e. UV lamps mounted in air handling ductwork
In food production areas, high bacterial levels can lead to increased
levels of product spoilage and reduced shelf life. UV treatment of
the air in the working area or storage areas can greatly reduce the levels
of available bacteria and mould spores, reducing the incidence of spoilage.
UVO3 UV lamps used in food production areas are sealed within a special
shatterproof coating. In the unlikely event that a lamp should break, this
prevents any glass contamination of the production area.
In areas where people regularly meet i.e. hospitals, waiting rooms, schools & offices, background UV treatment can reduce the risk of cross contamination by airborne bacteria & viruses, and is reported to lead to a reduction in the effects of ‘Sick Building Syndrome’.
