This Marine Guidance Note provides guidance on the Merchant Shipping and Fishing Vessels (Health and Safety at Work) (Artificial Optical Radiation) Regulations 2010. Artificial optical radiation originates from a very wide range of sources from normal indoor lighting to flood lights, lights on control panels as well as infra-red and ultra violet radiation including that resulting from welding. Risks arising from exposure to harmful levels of artificial optical radiation can range from burns to the eyes or skin up to retinal damage and even skin cancer.
It has been updated to reflect that the UK has now left the EU.
