2.0 UV Safety Acknowledgment Form
I, _____________________________________, hereby acknowledge that the UltraViolet (UV) light and UV-curable ink used in EFI UV
printers may negatively effects human health. The following safety and health concerns have been individually and explicitly explained to
me.
Safety Concern Initials
1. Impermeable protective wear must be worn while handling UV-curable ink, including nitrile gloves,
a protective apron, shoes, and safety glasses.
2. UV light exposure can cause permanent eye damage.
3. Never look at or in the direction of the UV curing lamp while it is on.
4. If UV-curable ink contacts the eyes, immediately remove contact lenses and begin flushing the eyes
with large amounts of cool water for at least 15 minutes; immediately contact a physician. Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) describing the ink should be taken to the doctor.
5. Exposure to UV-curable ink in or around the eyes can cause permanent eye damage.
6. Dermal exposure to UV-curable ink may cause skin irritation, dermatitis, and/or an allergic reaction
(sensitization).
7. The allergic reaction to UV-curable ink may worsen over time.
8. Upon contact of skin with UV-curable ink, immediately flush the area with large amounts of cool
water, wash with mild soap, and contact a physician if irritation persists. Never use solvent to
remove UV ink from the skin.
9. The UV curing process generates a by-product, ozone, that is a respiratory irritant. All UV printers
shall be properly vented to limit exposure; use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, and/or
other engineering controls to control exposure.
10. Ingestion of ink is irritating to mouth, throat, and stomach; can cause abdominal discomfort,
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Anyone who ingests UV-curable ink must consult with a physician
immediately.
11. I understand although all safety precautions have been taken, adverse reactions to UV ink and UV
light may still occur in some people, which may include me.
