The regulations define:

Statutory UV light exposure limit values (ELVs)

The regulations state:

Workers must not be exposed above the exposure limit values (ELVs) and should be provided with specific information, instruction and training
Employers must determine personal UV light exposure levels and compare with the exposure limit values as a means of assessing risk

All of our UV equipment is supplied with maximum permissible exposure times for the skin and eyes at specified distances from the source.
