Group/location:
Security Group, Tamper Lab, SE09
|
Description of activity/workplace:
Novacure UV light source, 20 W/cm², 250–450 nm
| Identified hazards:
- source of ionising UV radiation
- very hot lamp
- high-voltage power supply
|
Whom those hazards affect:
Sergei Skorobogatov (supervisor: Ross Anderson)
Markus Kuhn
| Reasonably foreseeable outcome:
- eye or skin damage
- burn or fire
- electrocution
|
Safe working procedure:
The UV light source is not used at present, therefore this risk assessment
is only a first draft.
- never look into light emitting end of the light guide
- never expose skin to UV light
- remove AC power cord before removing the cover
- use laser safety goggles that absorb emitted band (250-450 nm)
- ask people without safety goggles to leave SE09 during experiments
- device design prevents operation with opened arc lamp drawer
- wait for lamp to cool down before opening lamp drawer
- do not operate unattended over long periods of time
