Seminar: “Evaluation of Incoherent Artificial Optical Radiation”
Thank you for your interest in our seminar.
Please understand that we only offer this seminar in German. If you have any questions, please contact academy@uvex.de
Our occupational safety seminar offers you a unique opportunity to become a certified specialist in the assessment of artificial optical radiation.
Companies are legally required to monitor sources of artificial optical radiation to ensure that prescribed exposure limits are not exceeded. In such cases, precise measurements and appropriate protective measures are essential. This is precisely what our occupational safety seminar covers.
Through hands-on experiments, you will learn how to correctly measure incoherent light sources, analyse measurement data and interpret the results. The seminar incorporates specific challenges raised by participants, developing realistic and practical solutions. You will also have the opportunity to discuss your findings and develop measures for the safe handling of intense light sources and their potential hazards.
Available Dates for 2026/27
