1 UV Laser Radiation Skin Hazards and Skin Protection Controls Mike Woods, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory

2 MPEs for Eye and Skin Exposure MPEs for eye and skin for 1000s exposure MPEs are the same outside of the retinal hazard region, nm. (using Tables 5a and 7 in ANSI Z ) MPE for UV Radiation for exposure durations from 10-9 to s for ocular exposure and 10-9 to 10 3 s for skin exposure. (taken from Figure 5 in ANSI Z ) 2

3 NHZ Calculations for 1000s UV exposure, with associated PPE Recommendations When there are open beams, PPE for eye and skin protection are providing primary protection to accessible diffuse reflections!

4 ANSI Z Information for UV Laser Protection UV Laser Protection Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), shall be used when working with open beam Class 3B or Class 4 UV lasers. This shall include both eye and skin protection Skin Protection (Class 3B or Class 4) in the ultraviolet, the use of a skin cover shall be employed if chronic exposures are anticipated at exposure levels at or near the skin MPE. E3.1.1 Preassignment Medical Examinations Although skin damage from chronic exposure to laser radiation has not been reported, and indeed seems unlikely, this area has not been adequately studied. Limited skin examinations are suggested to serve as a baseline until future epidemiologic studies indicate whether they are needed or not. E3.2.6 Skin Examination is suggested for employees with history of photosensitivity or working with ultraviolet lasers. G2. Biological Effects of Laser Radiation on the Skin G2.1 General Little or no data is available describing the reaction of skin exposed to laser radiation in the 0.2 to 0.4 μm spectral region, but chronic exposure to ultraviolet wavelengths in this range can have a carcinogenic action on skin. On the basis of studies with noncoherent ultraviolet radiation, exposure to wavelengths in the 0.25 to 0.32 μm spectral region is most injurious to skin. shorter wavelengths are absorbed in the outer dead layer of the epidermis exposure to the longer wavelengths has a pigment darkening effect

5 UV Exposure Information in OSHA Technical Manual on Laser Safety Exposure in the UV-B range is most injurious to skin. possibility of radiation carcinogenesis from UV-B. Exposure in the shorter UV-C (0.200 µm µm) and the longer UV-A ranges seems less harmful to human skin. Hazards associated with skin exposure are of less importance than eye hazards However, with the expanding use of higher-power laser systems, particularly ultraviolet lasers, the unprotected skin of personnel may be exposed to extremely hazardous levels of the beam power if used in an unenclosed system design. 5

6 Notes on UV Exposure Hazards for Incoherent Sources in ACGIH Handbook on TLVs and BEIs Corneal Hazard Function For 1000s exposure,* ( 270nm) 3mJ 2 TLV = cm TLV nm = 1000mJ cm ( ) 2 *at 270nm, TLV due to corneal hazard at nm, TLV due to lens/retinal hazard The probability of developing skin cancer depends on a variety of factors such as skin pigmentation, eye color, genetic susceptibility, a history of blistering sunburns, and the accumulated UV dose. Workers in latitudes within 40 degrees of the equator can be exposed outdoors to levels above the TLVs in as little as five minutes around noontime during the summer. Ozone is produced in air by sources emitting UV radiation at wavelengths below 250 nm. 6

7 Guidance on UV Exposure Hazards/Controls at some sample Institutions LLNL ESH Safety Manual Chapter on Laser Safety Both the direct beam and scattered UV radiation should be shielded to the maximum extent practicable. The use of long-sleeved coats, gloves, and face protectors is recommended. LBNL ESH Safety Manual Chapter on Laser Safety For those who routinely receive ultraviolet exposure as part of their experimental work, an annual skin evaluation is recommended. LBNL Laser Reference Guide Always wear gloves and long sleeves when aligning UV beams to prevent skin exposure. Skin exposure to lasers could lead to possible skin cancer. Stanford ESH Safety Manual Chapter on Laser Safety Skin protection can best be achieved through engineering controls. Minimize exposure to UV radiation by using beam shields and clothing (opaque gloves, tightly woven fabrics, laboratory jacket or coat). 7

8 General Comments about Skin Hazard for long (ex. 1000s) UV Exposures Eye and skin MPEs are the same in the UV and in the IR outside of the retinal hazard region But between nm, eye MPEs are ~x less than skin MPEs for a 1000s exposure. MPEs same for coherent (laser) and incoherent sources MPEs depend on the cumulative exposure For example: the MPE is 3mJ/cm 2 between nm for exposures from 10-9 s to 1000s. The potential hazard from long exposures to diffuse reflections must be considered. Skin injuries are less serious than eye injuries o Vision impairment has much higher consequences o Skin injuries are usually self-repairing Skin injuries are much more probable than eye injuries o Large surface area o Hands close to laser beams 8

9 Recommended Controls for Class 3B and Class 4 UV laser operation 1. Engineering Controls (enclosures and barriers) Enclose UV laser beam paths to extent practical Design barriers or enclosures for beam dumps to minimize potential diffuse exposures 2. Administrative Procedures Attenuate laser beam and plan work to minimize exposure time Use remote steering controls and diagnostics as much as practical Keep exposed skin as far as practical from open beams 3. Skin PPE Wear long-sleeved shirts Use gloves when working with hands near accessible laser beams (primary or stray) Use gloves when diffuse reflection NHZ > 20cm, if hands within that distance Use face shield when diffuse reflection NHZ > 1m if working within that distance 4. Medical exams Periodic skin exams recommended for laser personnel who may have exposures > MPE 5. Site-specific training OJT and SOP must describe potential for skin injury and controls to use 9
