Cleanliness and Hygiene Monitoring
UV light helps you to see what’s really there.
UVA cleanliness inspections are adopted in a variety of settings to manage and improve hygiene standards, particularly in areas where cleanliness is crucial, such as hospitals, hotels, and production facilities. To assure patient, guest and staff health and safety UVA inspections help to identify contamination and assess cleaning effectiveness that isn’t possible without UV light.
We have a range of UVA blacklights for fluorescent inspection, base your equipment selection criteria on your particular process requirements including:
- UV wavelength (usually 365nm for fluorescent inspection applications)
- Minimum UV irradiance levels (dictated by working standards or ambient light levels)
- Inspection area (exposure should be restricted to the working area)
Cleanliness Monitoring Product Range
Use UVA inspections for:
Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities
Regulatory bodies in health and adult social care, Care Quality Commission (CQC) and the Health Safety Executive (HSE), are responsible for ensuring standards in health and safety, including cleaning practices to prevent accidents and the spread of illness and infections. UVA light inspections are used in this sector to benchmark cleaning programs, identify hidden contamination, and reveal trace evidence like biological fluids, helping service providers train to and maintain the appropriate standards.
Hotel & Guest Accommodation and Food Hygiene
Hygiene ranks among the top considerations for customers when considering where to stay and eat. UVA inspection helps ensure guest health and safety by revealing invisible stains and biological residues, which can be indicators of poor cleaning. By adopting UVA inspections, hospitality providers can confidently measure the effectiveness of cleaning programmes and maintain their essential brand values. With UV light inspections in food preparation, business owners can be reassured of their compliance of the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) hygiene standards and ISO 22000 Food Safety Management. The inspections provide the essential information to be able to prevent problems by identifying, evaluating and controlling hazards that cause foodborne illnesses.
Production and Manufacturing
UVA inspections are used in quality control, especially in cleanrooms and controlled environments, to detect particle contamination and ensure product quality.
